Ryan Schow’s Abandon series is five books long and was published at a quick pace between 2020 and 2021. The first three entries all came out in 2020, with These Times of Abandon kicking things off and These Times of Retribution and These Times of Cessation following close behind. The final two, These Times of Sedition and These Times of Insurrection, arrived in 2021.
Every title in the series follows the “These Times of…” naming pattern, which gives the lineup a consistent feel. The rapid release schedule means the story stays tightly connected from one book to the next, so reading them in publication order is the way to go. Schow clearly had the whole arc mapped out before he started publishing, and the series wraps up after five installments rather than dragging on indefinitely.
