Just finished the third installment within this edition as a buddy read. I would probably stick with my usual 4.5 rating of the stories themselves as I still love them after all these years. The second and third books definitely improve from the first. You can easily see the growth of the authors comparing the three.

I did give this one that extra half star because I absolutely love this Collector's Edition copy. It's a nice soft cover paperback that is very comfortable to hold when reading. I also enjoyed the larger font and the page size is nice to see the artwork at the chapter beginnings easier as well.

I will always have a fondness of the companions in this story and will probably re-read this again in another year or two.
