Hi Bookworms! Major mistake I didn't realize until I was editing...#13 was The Bloodsworn Saga by John Gwynne. I just completely lost count. My fault. But I totally recommend Bloodsworn! He's writing the final book now, I believe.

I was one of those idiots who refused to read A Song of Ice and Fire for years, was obsessed with the show, still refused to read the books. Then, finally, I decided to read the books last year (possibly something you said). Some of the best books I've ever read. Even if the series is never finished, anyone not reading the books is missing out on possibly the best fantasy series ever. At the very least, right up there with the best.

I was told this by everyone who had read LOTR. I never had but watched the movies. So after I read the books, I gotta say, when the media covers the source material well enough, it wasnt worth it. Of course the books were better, but when you know what happens it's just not worth. If they were finished, I would. But meh, I'll be that idiot and read series of authors who actually commit to their stories. I won't touch rothfuss either.

I will not read these until they are finished. There's too much good material out there where the author has either completed the series or is actively engaged in writing them. Martin seems to be way more interested in the TV work. More power to him, but I'm staying away. Been burned by Zelazny and Jordan already, not to mention Melanie Rawn (still hoping she'll change her mind and finish the Exiles trilogy).

Book 17 is supposed to be out this year. * Kylara Vatta series from Elizabeth Moon - The first series, Vatta's War, is complete; the second series, Vatta's Peace, is in progress. Excellent space opera. * Safehold series from David Weber - Book 10 of N is out; book 11 might be out this year.

Think the scarier part is that these unfinished series may be disappointing than unfinished... it's the same syndrome with TV/anime/manga.

Empire of Silence and Red Rising are both on my TBR list for a while, but I'm thinking I really need to get to both soon. I've been reading Dresden Files for years but I have to say that long waits for the last few books, and the (IMO) disappointing most recent book, I find my interest waining. Finally, I feel I'm the only one who doesn't care if Martin ever finishes ASOIAF. I could not even finish the first book, because I found is so boring. 😅
