Must one read the series in order?

Avyaun Yes. If you want to fully understand what is going on in this series, you will want to do that.

Prakhar Saxena Yes, definitely.
And not only you have to read the books in order but you may have to go back and read earlier books to get complete understanding
Jordan Amy Yes. This is effectively a single 12,000 page book. There's a huge amount of interdependence and build up, and that's part of the brilliance. Yes, it's hard to keep track of it all and likely requires multiple reads to catch everything, but it's worth it.
Avaminn F'nett Yes. Why wouldn't you want to read the whole thing in order? It's great.
Martín Karg That's kind of the point of a series...
Darrell In 2015 read the first 3 books and they were sometimes ok. Now quarantined by Coronavirus I'm going to get the very last book and read it to find out how the story progresses to its end. I'm sure AMOL gives adequate clues as to what happened in books 4-13. :)
