I see that A Deepness in the Sky is a prequel to A Fire Upon the Deep, but was written later. Does it make any impact which one I read first? Deepness seems to be more interesting to me, but I generally I prefer to read things in the suggested order.

It’s a prequel in the loosest possible sense. In theory they could be set in two different universes and it wouldn’t make much of a difference.
You’re O.K. to read in publication order.
I read A Deepness in the Sky first, and haven’t yet gotten around to A Fire Upon the Deep, and I enjoyed the former quite a lot.
