![]() ![]() I’ve really loved how Bujold handled it in the Vorkosigan novels. I’ve really come to prefer more self-contained books in a series, where even if there are multi-book arcs, they’re maybe three to five reasonable length novels. I think it is more a problem that so many fantasy series have turned into the mega-epics that require reading all 452 books to reach the end of.Įven if they are fantastic and the author has great work ethic, things happen and they don’t get done, or worse, write them selves into corners where they can’t come to a satisfactory conclusion at all (see Game of Thrones and Mass Effect). Only picked it up earlier this year after finding out that it had been finished by another author, and that the author had done a very good job of it, via the whole discussion of the Brian Sanderson kickstarter. ![]() I actually remember hearing about it, finding out the author had passed before finishing it, and didn’t even start on the first book. The author was releasing them at a good clip, but the story was so huge that he didn’t make it to the end. I so find myself thinking of series like The Wheel of Time books. ![]()
