The books build on each other. It would be best to read them in order.

You will absolutely not understand what's going on in #3.
That being said, the books aren't perfect sequels to each other, so don't expect exacting continuity.
Have you seen the movies? That could be a basis for reading the 3rd book, but it's been so long I don't remember any details that you would miss.
I haven't seen the movies. I'd like to read books before watching movies.
Definitely best to read them in order.
Definitely read in order.
