    I had the hardest time figuring out the order when I saw the books. Does anyone know 1) where the anime leaves out (don’t worry about “well you miss all this back story”) and 2) what the numbering order of books are?

      The series is divided into 5 parts so far. Each part has volumes inside of them. 3 seasons of anime covers part 1 and 2. So to continue you will need to start with Part 3 Volume 1. And you continue by reading Part 3 Volume 2 and so on.

      ludrol@bookwormstory.social is correct, but if you want context for where the anime rests

      Season 1 is Part 1 Volume 1-3 of the LN (handles it well but High Priest == High Bishop and Head Priest == High Priest)

      Season 2 is Part 2 Volume 1-2 of the LN (the anime speeds these up quite a bit and you miss out on a few things)

      Season 3 is Part 2 Volume 3-4 of the LN (the anime goes into top gear and blasts these volumes. I’d recommend starting here)

      Season 3 ends with Myne going to her new home as described in Part 3 Volume 1.
