Shades of Grey — reading order

Publication order

2 volumes·2008–2024·Ongoing

• Jasper Fforde’s satire, not to be confused with the erotic novel of a similar name: in a far-future society, social rank depends on which colours a person can see, and Eddie Russett, a young Red, is sent to a remote village where he starts asking dangerous questions.
• Funny, odd and quietly dark; the first book rates highly.
• The sequel, Red Side Story, arrived fifteen years later, in 2024.
