To this series:

https://www.goodreads.com/series/3182....

Here is the series page on Amazon.

Can you fix the order of the other books on the series page to match the series page on Amazon.

Thank You.

As to the order, GR uses different criteria than Amazon on several things (book #s, what constitutes a series, etc.), so GR does not always match Amazon.

In this case, #5 on Amazon is #2.5 on GR as it was previously published and is a novella, which don't use whole numbers on GR even if the author uses them on Amazon.

If the author will be releasing #5 again in January 2026 as seen on Amazon, unless it will be a rework and become a full-length title, odds are it will just be considered a new edition of #2.5.

And actually, from what I can tell these books only seem to have a common theme, which would mean they don't actually count as a series on GR even if they do on Amazon. GR requires books to have characters and/or a universe in common (such as same locations in each book) to be a series, not just a common theme or time period.

That said, I'm not deleting the series page and instead creating it on Listopia because perhaps I've overlooked something that does qualify them as a GR series, and could have been created by someone more familiar with it or someone previously gave info on what they had in common besides the theme.

Anyway, it's my understanding your request should be considered done. I hope the extra info helps clarify and helps with future requests. And "Thank You" for having included all relevant links. It was certainly helpful. regards.
