Best books to learn Black holes, in order

Black holes sit at the intersection of relativity, quantum theory, and astrophysics, so order matters. A good path starts with the gravity and spacetime ideas that make event horizons and singularities meaningful, then moves to what black holes do in the cosmos, then to the deep puzzles — Hawking radiation, the information paradox. Popular accounts first, then the physics that grounds the weirdness.
