Wondering how everyone approaches a series or books that go on to get a sequel? For the longest time I would automatically reach for any sequels that followed books I loved but now…eh. Sometimes I just like how a story has wrapped up and am not looking for more of the characters even if I enjoyed them the first time around. Anyone else do something similar and/or what are your reading habits when it comes to sequels?

    Nah. If you read fantasy/sci-fi, sequels are a given and integral to the whole story. And usually there’s as good if not better.

      I agree. I’ve read a bunch of stand-alone novels, as well as series, and the series tend to be more enjoyable to me. Characters and story tend to get fleshed out more in series than they do in stand-alone books, at least for the ones I’ve read.
