I am in the process of reading several continuing
series right now and realize how frustrated I truly get as I wait to see
how these series will play out. Waiting, in most instances up to a
year or more, after finishing one book for the next in a series is slow
torture. Because I have read a few series when all the books have been
available, meaning there is no wait, I ask myself why did I start
series that are still ongoing, boy was that a bad move! I feel like I
am left in the middle of some great event, and then it abruptly stops so
they can take a time out. Not knowing what will happen next that
really does me in, I ALWAYS have to know. Leaving characters in peril
or questions unanswered really doesn't suit me at all. I get that it is
a trick, played to keep those like me coming back for more, but ugh, it
isn't an easy wait. A good author makes that time between books worth
the wait. If they can return and make you feel satisfied they have made
it worth the torture. I have two books coming in May that I can't wait
for, so I am waiting for April to hurry up so I can delve back into
stories that have left me waiting for far too long.
