I started with the first book, then I did something that I never have never done. Reading a new author (to me). I didn't wait a few days to see if I was still impressed. I went ahead and bought the first 3 book set. To top it off I just got the second trilogy. Aside from a couple editing (yes, only a couple) these books are great! I even broke my promise to myself about getting so involved, I toss caution to the winds and jump.
