I just came across the Afterblight Chronicles. I have added a few to my wish list. To me it doesn't look like it's necessary but I wanted to know. Do you need to read this series from start to finish? It looks like you could read just two books out of the series, and if you never read anymore it wouldn't matter. I just wanted to validate this to make sure I don't get three of them, and try to read them only to have no idea what's going on.
