Hi, I've just started reading this series. I've almost finished the first book GotM, but my library doesn't have the second one DG (though they do have the rest of the series - well, the ones that are out). I've heard that the stories are kind of self-contained, so can I skip straight to the third one, and read the second when it's been ordered in, or will that screw up the continuity for me?

Any helpful advice would be greatly appreciated...
