I have yet to read any of The Rogues series, The Priests, or The Fighters, and I think there is one for Wizards too?

So my question is are these novels independent of the other books in the same series? So basically I am asking am I suppose to read them in order?

To my knowledge, each novel is a stand-alone.

Winterfox is correct.

"Instead of asking why we sleep, it might make sense to ask why we wake. Perchance we live to dream. From that perspective, the sea of troubles we navigate in the workaday world might be the price we pay for admission to another night in the world of dreams."

However, one of the Rogue novels also ties in with the Sembia novels. :)

For some of us, books are as important as almost anything else on earth. What a miracle it is that out of these small, flat, rigid squares of paper unfolds world after world, worlds that sing to you, comfort and quiet and excite you... Books are full of the things that you don't get in real life - wonderful, lyrical language, for instance, right off the bat. - Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird

That would be The Crimson Gold, by Voronica Whitney-Robinson.

True, and for that matter, Mistress of the Night features a character from Black Wolf. And it's a great book, too.

Queen of the Depths ties in with the Year of Rogue Dragons Trilogy, but you don't need to have read those books to "get" the stand alone novels.

Thank you all for the replies. I just wanted to make sure because I bought some of the Rogue Series out of order and I didn't know if I should start reading them until I had the first ones.

At first I couldn't quite place Feena in any of the books (at 150+ FR-Books you do get a little bit confused ), but then I could vaguely remember her from Black Wolf.

Braveheart, I've moved your question to a more appropriate scroll, so it's more likely to get noticed by the author.
