I loved a certain relationship from the early books that then got revisited in a much later book and it didn't work for *me* as "refreshed". Maybe "universally loved" was too strong a phrase when I'm really saying "loved by me" :-) and then "unloved by me". Moving on....more books to read, thank goodness, including yours!Veronica Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04732940088047026021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7663321286319002443.post-10970987860916399622012-11-04T10:05:19.783-05:002012-11-04T10:05:19.783-05:00I picked out several series from your list that ne...I picked out several series from your list that need to end as in just leave it - walk away!!

I could add 'killing off the main character only to bring him back for another book' is a pretty good sign the author is done but the publishing contract isn't up yet. :coughharrydresdencough:B.E.
