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.
When I was young while reading the Boxcar Children I found out that the original author only wrote 19, when I started the 20th and the kids got younger I stopped. There are so many written now and while there are probably really good ones, don’t understand why they’re all over the place time wise.
Also don’t understand how Bourne turned into such an extended universe, I read the trilogy and stopped. That dude suffered enough, not sure how many more used him, if none did then maybe they’d be worth trying, he was used and abused let him retire in peace.
I did enjoy the second Millennium trilogy, felt there was a few avenues unexplored at the end of the original trilogy and that the new guy did a decent job. No real desire to read book 7, but I bought it in case I change my mind.
probably wise to have stopped there (bourne). i like spy thrillers and i’m a masochist so i’ve read them all. overall, it’s not like they’re terrible, but the new guy was somewhat messy, not attentive to character detail, and rather rote about coming up with some random woman of the moment for bourne to fall in love with, it got kinda ridiculous and unbelievable.
they moved on from him and the new guy has been basically sequeling the movies instead of the books.
