    The first three books are about ancient times, and the last one is about the wasteland after the World War and the nuclear bomb crisis. The villain is not mentally retarded, and the protagonist rarely shows off. The second and third books are written by the same author and are slightly related. Which one you read first will not affect your reading. I haven't read much of the first book, so I haven't seen any major poisonous points yet. Highly recommend the fourth book!!! The story of a little man growing up to become a great general. There is brotherhood, there is love between children. Not invincible, not a show-off, not a stallion, not a holy mother.
