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.

    I think it should be up to the wishes of the author and their estate. Aside from the Wheel of Time, The Pern series of books was handed off from the original author to her son while she was still alive - she even collaborated on his first book, then went over his outline for the next, and then handed it off to him to continue. That’s a far cry from someone just… taking the characters and trying to tack crap on.
