I was afraid of this, even though I thought I’d properly researched it and since it was the edition that appears on the author’s goodreads page I thought I was good (I always thought they listed them in order of most-rated and listed the MPE edition there ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ i stand corrected). Would the poetry-multiple-book rule apply here? If I read the Second Series it should still fit within the parameters for dates/page count (though that was the Second Series page count I found as most popular which might not be the MPE as already shown)? Any help/suggestions welcome!
