    The stress of success, many eyes watching, and not publishing is less crushing than publishing a shit ending that ruins the trilogy and wipes out all interest in the first two books.

      It’s a shame I don’t find Sanderson books all that interesting because that guy puts out books like a Gatling gun.

        I’ve literally tied myself over with several series of Sanderson’s while waiting for the final book in the Kingkiller Chronicle series.

        I guess there’s always the reassurance that Sanderson will probably pick up any major series that needs finishing haha.

          Nah not really. It’s well thought out and all that but it just seems kind of “clinical” to me. I like a lot of grit (cormac McCarthy is my favorite author), so I lean more towards Abercrombie or mark lawrence.

          Steven Erikson is another I wish I could get into but I find myself rereading the same stuff over and over until ultimately giving up.
