I just finished the third book tonight, which was originally the end to the series. So I'm wondering if I read a different trilogy or book, I could read the last two on a later date.
Also I plan on reading The Fighter series soon, any order they should be read in, or any since they are stand alone.

I dot see a problem with waiting with the two other books.
Have you checked out any of the old Harper series? These are also stand-alone books and, in most cases, a great read. |

Hi zuyx, you can easily read book IV and V of the Avatars series later.
Prince of Lies and Crucible have a comon story arc, so when you start reading Prince of Lies, then I recommend to follow up inmediately with Crucible.
Personally I found those two books exponentially better than the original Avatars trilogy. |

I think I'll take a break from them, but will read after a while, getting my other half into reading some books
from Forgotten Realms, so going to read some books together, a few I have doubles of, and give her the Twilight Wars |

| You might want to read the Twilight Giants Trilogy and The Harpers #1 (THe Parched Sea) and #12 (THe Veiled Dragon) before you read books 4 and 5 of the avatar series as there are some charatcers whose origins take place in those series. |

Don't have any of those but if I can find I'll be sure to read.
I want to Read The Lady Penitent, but don't know if I should first read
War of The Spider Queen, seeing as I have both. |

It is definitely recommendable to start with War of the Spiderqueen, as ist is easier to contextualize Lady Penitent after that, especially due to Halistra Melarn's role in both series. You'd ,iss out some stuff by starting with Lady Penitent.

You might also want to read Elaine Cunninghams Starlight and Shadows Trilogy before you start either of those series and even RAS's Underdark Novels. This would give you the most chronological order for reading about the characters and places that take place in each series.
I would read the following series' in this order:
Legend of Drizzt
Starlight and Shadows
War of the SpiderQueen
Lady Penitent
Hope that helps |
