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.

    Well, the classic Czech book Dobrý vojak švejk, the good soldier Svejk, just sort of ends mid sentence and honestly it made me probably just angry that I didn’t DNF like 500 ago when I stopped enjoying it. It keeps going and going, the same arbitrary pointless style and then it just ends. Maybe if there were some kind of point to it at the end I’d be able to recommend it, but as is, I don’t. Or, I say just quit whenever you stop liking it, because it never gets better.
