Rina Kent books

There's no single "correct" way since her series are interconnected but can be read independently. However, the author recommends following a structured order to avoid minor spoilers. The easiest place to start is with the Royal Elite series, as it's the foundation of her "Rinaverse".

Here's the order most readers suggest for that first series:

1. Cruel King (Prequel)
2. Deviant King
3. Steel Princess
4. Twisted Kingdom
5. Black Knight
6. Vicious Prince
7. Ruthless Empire
8. Royal Elite Epilogue

From there, you can move on to her other connected series. A popular path is to go from Royal Elite into the Kingdom Duet, then the Lies & Truths Duet, followed by the Empire series, and eventually the Legacy of Gods series. Just make sure to read the books within each series in their proper order, even if you hop between the different series themselves.

The easiest place to start is with Cruel King. It's the prequel to the Royal Elite series, and it's what most readers (and the author herself) suggest for a smooth entry into her interconnected world.

From there, just follow the Royal Elite series in order. The first few books are:

Cruel King (Royal Elite #0)
Deviant King (Royal Elite #1)
Steel Princess (Royal Elite #2)
Twisted Kingdom (Royal Elite #3)

Some readers also jump straight into Deviant King, since it's the first full-length novel and sets the tone for the whole series. Both work, but starting with Cruel King gives you a bit more background context before diving in.

If you specifically want to start with her newer, BookTok-famous college romances, God of Malice (the first Legacy of Gods book) is another solid entry point. Whichever path you choose, the key is to read the books within each series in their proper order to avoid spoilers.
