Notes
- From the series record (The Divine Cities): Core Canon = all 3 novels of the completed trilogy (Broadway Books, 2014-2017). No companion/Expanded Canon material found (no novellas, no short fiction set in this world) -- the trilogy is the complete work. First-edition dates per Wikipedia's own per-book articles, cross-checked against sfadb's Locus poll year attributions (each book's poll year is the year after its publication year, consistent with all three dates).
Neighbouring works
Publication order and internal chronology are tracked as two separate orderings, but they resolve to the exact same sequence for this book, so one combined line is shown instead of two identical ones.
