Reddit reviews Children of the Fleet (Fleet School (1))

In general, the books assume that you've read everything previously released. The nomenclature also evolved throughout the series, and going out of publication order will lessen one's reading experience. This doesn't matter as much regarding the short stories, but should be followed regarding the main books.

  Comics
  -
  The comics were made after the books were already written, and so the publication order doesn't really come matter. For the Comics, I would go with a modified chronological order starting with Ender's Game. Note that Ender's Shadow arc isn't necessary for understanding any of the other comics.
