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?
There are WAY too many current and still ongoing series out that I love that I still wouldn’t have read if I waited for everything to be done. I mean, Dresden Files still has a half dozen books or something left in the series, and it’s been going on for around 16 years. Plus the Laundry Files, Monster Hunters International, Joe Ledger/Rogue Team International, the Rivers of London, and I’m sure more I haven’t thought of. I’m not waiting (in some cases) literally decades to start to read a series that interests me.
That’s a good point, I don’t tend to read series that take more than 3-4 books.
