Mysterious worlds or Max Fry - the order of reading for an adequate perception

On the question of who is the best Russian-speaking writer of fantasy in our country, they often respond laconically - Max Fry. But even less so, but still there is such a reaction: "Max Fry? And think forget, I tried to read - nothing is clear." Who is right? Strangely enough, both are right.

Who is Max Fry, the order of reading books of which we undertook to explain to an inexperienced reader? Our compatriot, more precisely - compatriot.

Those who regularly visit bookshops, probably saw a lot of shelves filled with bright volumes. Judging by the number of books published, this Max Fry tries to overtake and surpass not only America, but also Daria Dontsova herself. And it is not known who will win from this race, as the weight categories are approximately equal.

Like Daria Dontsova is the pseudonym of Agrippina Vasilieva (in marriage - Dontsova), and Max Fry is in fact no Max, and certainly not Fry, and the artist Svetlana Martynchik. That is, before she was just an artist, and now she is a respected author of many books. However, initially the pseudonym Max Fry did not belong exclusively to Mrs. Martynchik. She began to collaborate with a colleague on the brush - the artist Igor Stepin.

But in the process of evolution and deanonimization Igor somehow quietly disappeared, and now Svetlana alone is Max Fry. It's not necessary to explain why this pseudonym was chosen. It began with Max Fry (Echo and Co.) in the not so distant nineties of the last century. And then people did not look to rush to buy all the books written by foreign authors. So, such a profitable marketing move was made. Read books some Svetlana Martynchik would hardly have become, since the niche of the female author of fantasy was still firmly occupied by Andrew Norton, and it was difficult to squeeze into it (into the niche). "Wolfhound" just started its march, and it can not be said that it was actively swept off the shelves. So introducing yourself as a man, and even a foreigner, was the most it.

The series was not just bought, but literally swept off the shelves, so that there were all the prerequisites to continue writing while the wind was passing.

Today, a person who decided to start reading Martynchik's books can immediately abandon them, since he simply does not understand anything in the plot. We do not know whether this was a deliberate trick of the author or it all happened by chance, but it is necessary to read books strictly in order. That is, as Max Fry wrote them. The order of reading books guarantees an understanding of the plot, so you have to buy books sequentially. As well as giving them to fans.

So that you do not get confused in the book labyrinth of stories about the adventures in the world of Sir Max (then not the author, but his or her title hero), learn the following cheat sheet. You have to start reading first "Labyrinths of the Echo" - they are almost all in the orange cover. And after finishing buying up orange volumes, you can go to green - they are called "The Chronicles of Echo." Yes, books in one series, that in another - a lot. That's such a prolific we have Max Fry. The order of reading is strictly regulated: without completing the Labyrinths, do not even think about taking on the Chronicles. All the same, you will not understand anything, and you will have to go back to the Labyrinths.

But those who undertake to read the cycle strictly consistently, without missing a single book, can only be envied. So great is the sea of pleasure from reading. A lot of adventure, sparkling humor, funny and wise life philosophy of the hero, plus his extraordinary magical abilities by any measure - all this was combined in his books by Max Fry.

The order of reading his books coincides with the chronological writing. Let's say that the first thing is to start reading "The Stranger", then take on "Volunteers of Eternity", and the next to take off the shelf "Simple magic things."

We do not have the opportunity to provide here a complete list of books about the adventures of Sir Max, and it is not required. You can contact the consultants in the store. And on the books themselves a complete list is indicated. So, arm yourself with the list, buy books and get ready to immerse yourself in the fascinating world of humor and adventure.
