About the publication order, it's actually a meta example of what's happening in the story. As Mrs. Nyxly explained, time is disturbed whenever Vyndktvx attacks, and so the story became non-chronological. Of course this is a very confusing method of storytelling for new readers, but my mind was blown once I realized that and it became my favorite.
