I am honestly going to wait until he is done. I thought I learned my lesson after The Wheel of Time; but then I made the same mistake with Game of Thrones. Then I said I was done and started reading these because he was on a tear.....and now he is taking almost half a decade to get books out. So after this series I swore off starting new ones that aren't done.....but just now Dungeon Crawler Carl sucked me in and I am now on the last book of that one before being caught up. It fucking sucks how good these authors are but that they cannot just get the goddamn main story done and fill in the gaps with other standalone novels.

I think it’s kinda crazy that you’re comparing him to those two but he definitely can’t finish this. He needs to though, now that the content has started to dry up. Authors have a terrible time learning this.

Bro, look at the trend. It was one year between books. Then it was 2 and then 5 and now it might be 6. He still has his epic ending trilogy to get to which, at current pace, will take him 15 years to finish. So if he was on that trilogy right now he would not finish until 2040.

Yeah, not sure what is up with the dude. I know between Skin Game and Peace Talks he had a nasty divorce and moved across the country and shit. Plus he had that other series going on. Not sure what his excuse is this time. Especially since he was aiming at 23 books total, but that was before he split Peace Talks and Battle Ground. Then the book that was supposed to be coming next got changed into Twelve Months, so he added another book. It's gonna be 2050 before this series ends. I also know he has his other series going on, but is it actually popular? I tried reading it but it didn't hook me.

Thats 17 books in 20 years and he already pumped out a 6 book Codex Alera series and other books during that span. I get that you like his books but that’s a pretty unbelievable schedule over two decades. Eventually, he slows down and quality suffers which I think has happened. That still doesn’t put him at their levels. GRRM doesn’t even try anymore.

We are all getting old and wanna finish the series before we die.

Really like how these are coming together. The slipcases are cool, the art is well done, everything feels nice. Still think Dresden looks a little too much like Sam Winchester from Supernatural in the Fool Moon and Grave Peril art. I think Summer Knight goes on pre-sale as soon as all the Grave Perils are done shipping, so it is proving to be a decent turn around for each book, especially seeing as how we have to get through 17+ of them.
