Hey guys just wondering what order the official books should be read in?
I've seen available on amazon the Ghosts of ascalon and Edge of destiny books,
is there anymore official books?

Many thanks.

Ghosts of Ascalon takes place one year before the events we get to play with in GW2, Edge of Destiny six years before GW2.

But really, it doesn't matter in what order you read them. The stories are readable on their own.

So far only these two books have been released. The third one, Sea of Sorrows has been announced.

Edge of destiny was read before ghosts of ascalon, make more sense that way regardless of the time era, in Edge of destiny the brother of the main character in ghosts of ascalon is one of the main characters, later on in ghosts of ascalon his lil bro gets his own story and has mentioning of Edge of destiny. makes more sense...

You may want to double-check your info. (I've re-read your paragraph, numerous times, still don???t understand which character and what book you are referring to)

Not going to spoil the book;
There's only "maybe" one character from Edge of Destiny, which you will read (encounter) in Ghost of Ascalon. Perhaps 3-4 characters are mentioned from GW lore and Edge of Destiny.

IMO: I would read the "Ghost of Ascalon" first to get the suspense/surprise. Then later read more about it in "Edge of Destiny"

Actually you encounter 2 characters from Edge of Destiny in Ghosts of Ascalon.
