I would start with that one. 2-8/12 can be read in any order. the only main additions I think happen in books 8 & 12, and they're not imperative but may help in fluidity. 25-27 should be read in order

but really, any of the books could be picked up and enjoyed in any order. you could totally start with this one, go to 1 and pick up any of the other books. There's not a lot of character arc changes between the books. 26 & 27 are the only two that follow 2 stories within the same major plot line. (that pick up from the last few lines of 25. Not quite a cliffhanger but the plot line in which 26 & 27 are based on. (less)
