There are at least two series that I've given up on until they're completed (<I>Wheel of Time</I> by Robert Jordan and <I>Sword of Truth</I> by Terry Goodkind), but there are other on-going series that I can't stand to wait for, like George R.R. Martin's <I>Song of Fire and Ice</I>.<BR/><BR/>That being said, off the top of my head some completed series that I've really enjoyed include: <BR/><I>The Belgariad</I> and its sequel series <I>The Mallorean</I> by David Eddings.<BR/><BR/><I>Coldfire Trilogy</I> by C.S. Friedman<BR/><BR/><I>Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn</I> by Tad Williams.<BR/><BR/>I think I read that the excellent <I>Runelords series</I> by David Farland is finished now, but I haven't read the last book yet.<BR/><BR/>The final volume of Kate Elliot's <I>Crown of Stars</I> series hasn't been published yet, but will be out within a year.<BR/><BR/>Finally, I've recently been pushing the <I>Vlad Taltos series</I> by Steven Brust on all of my friends. While not technically finished, the Taltos books are more a series about common characters than a series about an overarching quest. Another of my favorite series like this is Terry Pratchett's <I>Discworld series.</I>Cap'n Neurotichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15697751381139006839noreply@blogger.com
