How do y’all feel about continuing a series after an author dies? To me, I think one last book can be written to end it, but the series should rest with the author, just my thoughts though. I’m in the middle of a series right now and some random lady is “finishing” it, but she has written like 7 books that show no end. I’m not mad, but I just want to feel the satisfaction of completing a series and having the whole collection.

    Showing my age here, but I read the entire Hardy Boys series of books when I was like, 12 or 13 years old. At the time, there were like 125 of them. I enjoyed every single one of them.

    Fast forward to my adulthood and I found out that most of them were in fact, not, written by Franklin W. Dixon. I really didn’t care.

    As a counterpoint, I did watch every single episode of the Killing Eve T.V. series. Of the 4 seasons it aired, the first one blew it out of the park; second one, really good; third one, good; fourth, meh. Different script writers for all 4 seasons.

      Please, if anyone has read the Hardy Boys, you have to read The Brixton Brothers by Mac Barnett. It is one of the best parodies I have ever read. Basically what would happen if a twelve year old fan of the Hardy Boys tried to investigate hardened criminals with the same techniques from the book.

      Another childhood series animorphs was heavily ghost written near the end. There was a book a month plus the various chronicles.
