That’s a good idea.
I was a Dresden Files super fan but then the author went through some stuff IRL, started a whole new series so now in a perfect environment everything takes twice as long, went five years between books, and turned out a massive two parter, both of which I strongly dislike as he clearly doesn’t separate his life from the characters he writes.
I only recently finally tried the “He who fights with monsters” series because LitRPG sounded terrible to me and I love it. It’s 12 books so far but the author just had a big health scare and I’m worried for him. Absolutely entertaining series though.
Sanderson is the gold standard at this point.
Well, I kind of had a bad luck with authors.
My first big (and favourite) fantasy series was Wheel of Time, and author died before the last book (silver lining: when Sanderson finished the series, I got introduced to him). Also started A Song of Ice and Fire and well, we all know how that went. That is when I decided I should wait for series to complete. Which is also why I haven't read Wise Man's Fear yet, used to follow Rothfuss' blog and heard great things about it, but wanted him to finish the series.
