Redangel333 | 275 comments I have never seen something like this and have no clue what to do. On an authors page I recognized two series with the same name, they seem identical.
https://www.goodreads.com/series/6044...
this seems to be the complete one

https://www.goodreads.com/series/1327...
this seems to be only the later books.

How is this solved? Can the series be combined?

lethe | 16361 comments Combining is not possible and not necessary in this case, as the first series contains all the books. I have deleted the latter series.

(If they had both been incomplete, one of the series should have had the missing books added, and the other series should then be deleted.)

lethe | 16361 comments A question: this series has a #0. Should full-length prequels be considered primary, or are they secondary works?

Redangel333 | 275 comments Thanks for your help. Actually I am not sure, I wanted to start to read them and was just trying to figure out which is the book to start with. I found another issue which collects several stories and just found a description where it says 0 was additionally written later but belongs to the series.

Not primary.
