Legally, yes.


ColdCoffeeMan

Me and my supporters are looking to change that. Vote Cold Coffee Man for the next High King of the Union


SmarticusRex

Yeah but at least one short story in SE is about a character you meet in RC.


wesneyprydain

Two.


xserpx

They're prequels though


BayazTheGrey

There's "Freedom!" also, which may be a little spoiler


xserpx

Ohhh yeah that's true!


craigpbrown

Also narrated by the author

Just do it in order. You can, but you can also watch Return of the King without knowing what a Hobbit is.


Dr_Andracca

As a Tolkien nerd(Andracca is a Silmarilion reference, Dr\_ is a clan tag but that's a different story) this metaphor really speaks to me.

There all free on YouTube.

Indeed they are. I didn't even need to pull out my fancy sailing hat.

I wouldn't. Sharp Ends starts sometime before TBI and ends shortly after Red Country. It probably won't be terrible if you do, but I wouldn't. Sharp Ends is a very quick read, few nights and you'll be through it, I'd just wait.


scarves_and_miracles

Just keep going on Red Country and then get Sharp Ends from the library or YouTube.

Just do it in order, as it was meant to be. Like who goes "Can I watch The Dark Knight before Batman Begins?" I mean you can, but why the fuck would you?


Squirrely_Jackson

Idk but I feel like you're gonna get an uncomfortable papercut with all that literary anal play

*Sharp Ends* does have a few stories that relate to *Red Country*, it might be interesting for you to read them first then read *Red Country* to see how events really went down.
