As a general rule, the order to read Magic The Gathering books is chronological. Reading the books chronologically presents a clear timeline of events within the Magic The Gathering’s multiverse. However, reading the books in release order offers a more character-focused narrative.
Weatherlight Cycle (in chronological order, which is the order you should now read them in): 1 - The Thran 2 - The Brothers' War 3 - Planeswalker 4 - Time Streams 5 - Bloodlines 6 - Rath and Storm (start here) 7 - Mercadian Masques 8 - Nemesis 9 - Prophecy 10 - Invasion 11 - Planeshift 12 - Apocalypse.
Magic's stories can be broken into four eras (named by me): pre-Weatherlight, the Weatherlight Saga, post Mending, and Modern. Pre-Weatherlight covers Alpha through Portal and establishes Urza as the dominant actor in the multiverse's history.
There's The Gathering Storm, which definitely should go right before War of the Spark. A Garden of Flesh isn't tied to a set and can be put just before or right after Streets of New Capenna. There're quite a few webcomics that provides stories from around Alara to The Quest for Karn.
Can I read the MTG books in any order? While each book can be enjoyed as a standalone story, reading them in order will provide a more comprehensive understanding of the MTG universe and its characters.
Seeing as how you've already read The Thran and the Artifacts Cycle, you should bypass those. But here's a list of all the books in the Weatherlight Cycle (in chronological order, which is the order you should now read them in): 1 - The Thran 2 - The Brothers' War 3 - Planeswalker 4 - Time Streams 5 - Bloodlines 6 - Rath and Storm (start here)
