I know that some of the books in the Harper series have series in it, but do you need to read them in order from 1-16 to fully understand what is happening ?

Are characters from these books continuations from other previous books, like Spellfire and Crown of Fire?

Most of the Harpers novels are self-contained, independent stories, and do not have characters from prior novels.

Parched Sea and Veiled Dragon do feature several of the same characters in both books, but the stories are almost entirely separate adventures.

What Wooly said. I think the only Harper books which would be better if read in order are:

Elfshadow before Elfsong before Silver Shadows

Crypt of the Shadowking before Curse of the Shadowmage

Parched Sea before Veiled Dragon

*I would also read the Finder's Stone Trilogy before reading Masquerades, and read Finder's Bane before Tymora's Luck.

I have read Azure Bond, but not the other two. Also, I have read Tymora's Luck without knowing about Finder's Bane....
Thanks for the information though

You are most welcome. I forgot to add a suggestion to read Spellfire before Crown of Fire too.
