The "God Eater Saga" is a bit unique in it's execution as it is a trilogy of trilogies that are being written in three phases. Phase 1 is Herald (Book one in "Age of the God Eater"), Deathless (Book one in "Annals of the God Eater"), and Demon (Book one in "Archive of the Death Eater").
Through the Annals of the God Eater series, which takes place roughly 1,000 years prior to the events of Herald (book one of the main series, Age of the God Eater), we see humanity and divinity working together and are able to get a detailed telling of what events and actions led to the war between the two species.
Age of the God Eater, the main series, takes place in the "current" time.
And through the Archive of the God Eater series, we will learn the truth of humanity's first interactions with the angels, roughly 3,000 years prior to the events of Herald.
While these three series can be read in any order, I would suggest reading each phase starting with Age of the God Eater and ending with Archive of the God Eater. This is because each book's story will affect how you view the characters and events of the others, and starting with the main series will allow you to read the story with the least amount of influence while reading it, and will allow for a different perspective on each series than you would get reading them in a different order.
