I find that even when someone says a book can be read out of order it's usually wrong. If there is even one sentence that mentions anything in a previous book or a character acts in a way not like previously, then it's not stand alone. Most books are not stand alone and if they are at the moment, the author will change that in a future book.
I don't want the author to cater to those who read out of order I want those books to be spoilers for the ones that came before.
