Reply to after ASOIAF and kingkiller I dont dare to start reading unfinished series, I wonder statistically how much people are same and if it sffects other authors? by [deleted]
I started reading Wheel of Time in 1990 and waited book by book for...19 years? By then there was no way that the ending could have ever met my expectations.
Fuck GRRM.
I still have a soft spot for Rothfuss because of some of the charity work he has done with Hefer Int etc, and it was not a 20 book series but dang...
I started reading a series by another author JV Jones who vanished after a couple of books...
Plenty of books out there but I hear ya.

I started writing basic on one and then spent 30+ years in dev. Not a bad career choice IMO.

The first couple of books were fine. Then it get's into a loop of "Yay they're together Oh no they're apart, omg how can they get back together" for a few books, then it goes into some kind of Ayn Rand shit and I stopped there.

I got to hang out with her for a little while after a show back in the 80s. I was doing tour support for a band named Icon that did some shows with her.
