In terms of whether or not I should (or shouldn't) try a series--certainly. But I take no advice on order. None. I've tried in the past and it's never worked out. Without fail, I needed to start over at the beginning of published order to set my mind at ease. Nowadays, when I hear the words; "
can be read first," or "
can be read as a standalone," it's flashing neon sign warning me that it really can't. At least not by me, anyway. It's not a dismissal of others opinions, so much as it's an acceptance of my own psychosis.
