Start off with the Children of Time series, there's no reason not to. Well written, great story with memorable characters, and a fantastic hard sci-fi twist on what intelligent life really is, and how we think of ourselves and others.

Third part is very disorienting however — it took me almost till the end to understand what was going on.

Thanks! I'll go for that as soon as I'm finished with the Three Body Problem series.
