Jae | 60 comments I noticed an prologue short missing from the Wot series list. But since it's co-authored by Brandon Sanderson, it ought to be in the MoL series list too. Also, the prologue shorts seem to be misnumbered, appearing in the list after the work they are supposed to precede. For instance, http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/91... is numbered as 13.1, but it is in fact just an excerpted prologue from the full length novel. So maybe it should read #12.9?

If you want to keep the numbering order as is, it should be listed as Wheel of Time #12.1 and Memory of Light #1.1.

I can post the rest of the series corrections here to make life easier, but I wanted to know how you plan to number things first.

Sorry for the super long and possibly unclear post.

Jay | 21 comments If I'm understanding you correctly, then you're wanting to renumber the series so that the prologue (in this case #13.1) comes before the actual book (#13) and then also to append these prologues to the secondary series list. Is that right?

Edit: Okay, I've gone through and made the changes as I think that you meant them. I did a quick search and it turns out that between books are generally meant to be numbered as halves, so in the above example, I made what was #13.1 into #12.5. I also added that other prequel to the Wheel of Time series and added all three prequels to the Memory of Light series. If I've done something wrong, or if there's anything else that I missed, please don't hesitate to point it out to me.
