To start, you need to understand two core design principles:
1) Primary use: New/lapsed/infrequent SW readers. Provide a high-level reminder of where in the saga a book takes place
2) Usable design that avoids clutter or becomes too busy and imposing

Why focus on less engaged readers instead of more engaged? Our assumption: more engaged readers have a broader knowledge base of the chronology/ are more likely to be engaging with other timeline resources (reference books, unofficial resources, etc) Not a value judgment!
