If you like the type of story, the characters and such, keep on reading. The writing style improves a lot as well as the depth of the characters, the background and the world itself. Book three is pivotal in more than one way. Several things happen there that really boosts the next 8-9 books. So, if you like the genre and the overall theme/characters/story, keep on reading. It really, really gets better. You can skip ahead, but you will loose some fun I guess.
If you really want to read a book ahead of time, I think Dead Beat might be good, although even there you will miss out on several things.
