Tandem Books are essentially companion novels that can be read alongside the main series. They offer a fresh perspective on the story, and can help you fill in gaps and understand the characters and their motivations better. Think of them like the special features on your favorite DVD - they add an extra layer of depth and excitement to the story.
For example, if you're reading Throne of Glass, you might want to read The Assassin's Blade in tandem. This prequel novel sets the stage for the entire series, and gives you a glimpse into the life of Celaena Sardothien before she became the infamous assassin. It's like getting a behind-the-scenes look at your favorite character's backstory.
Another great tandem read is Empire of Storms and Tower of Dawn. These two books can be read together, and offer a split-narrative that will keep you on the edge of your seat. It's like watching a buddy cop movie - you get to see two different storylines unfold at the same time, and it's a total thrill ride.
