I've recently began to read some of the pathfinder tales novels. I want to know if there is an order that I should be reading these in. Specifically is there one that deals with background of the characters in World Wound Gambit. I'm only in about chapter 4, and it seems that they all keep referencing a previous adventure. If I'm missing something then I'd like to read that first before I continue this novel. Thanks in advance.
Hi Altus! Don't worry, there's no book before Worldwound Gambit--those characters just have a long history together. :)
Hope you enjoy it!

As James Sutter said, there's no novel before Worldwound Gambit. To answer the broader question, there is no chronology to the Pathfinder Tales. All of the tales are set generically in "The Present." Unlike the Star Wars EU books, events in one book have no lasting effect upon the world that will turn up in other books. There are some that have sequels, thus generating their own "chronology," but that's about it.
For example, Prince of Wolves is before Master of Devils is before Queen of Thorns; but that's because they are all about Varian Jeggare and his bodyguard Radovan.
The Worldwound Gambit preceeds Blood of the City, though the books are barely related. If you like The Worldwound Gambit, read Blood of the City next. I think it's one of the best books in the Tales line.
There's a thread somewhere around here where I've been keeping track of all the chronologies, but I don't have a link to it on hand. A quick search should turn it up.
