It's more the latter. Knowledge of the existence of the connections are entirely optional.
I started with
The Lions of Al Rassan and
Tigana and then read the rest in a fairly hodgepodge manner. There's new and old I could have done without.
Tigana was my favorite while Fionavar, Ysabel, and
A Brightness Long Ago didn't move me all that much.
I'm currently reading
The Last Light of the Sun right now, in fact. And at the half-way mark, I'm guessing I won't be singing its praises. Perhaps I'm not really the GGK fan I thought I was.
