has the book Darius found here: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6...
listed as Book 0 and it definitely should not be. While it is mainly a prequel, a flashback to before the series began, it contains numerous major spoilers for late in the series, and the whole epilogue skips ahead to the time frame of the books at the time Darius was published, making it fall between Book 19 and Book 20 and spoiling the entire series, up to book 20. It is also a terrible introduction to the series for anyone just beginning the books, turning away people who might otherwise have become fans and possibly even loved Darius when they read it at the proper time.
I wasn't sure if this was something in the librarians' control, but it's something I, and many fans, feel very passionate about, so I thought I would give it a shot. Thank you for your time.
