That's not too bad at all. There's going to be more Dragon Empire books?

Even though the list is humble, the abandoned section is empty. Very impressive!

That is nothing to scoff at Samir :)

You seemed to have been concentrating on some pretty solid series!

I'm not sure, the second one ended with a hint of a possible sequel but nothing is confirmed yet. Maybe I should move it to the finished section.

Dani | 577 comments I'm with the others, Samir. You are doing quite well indeed.

Amazing list Samir. You are doing well. I think it's great your abandoned section doesn't have anything in it!

Samir (royceblackwater) | 842 comments Just updated The Riyria Chronicles. It's now 2 out of 3 and will be finished soon because I started reading book 3.

Scott  Hitchcock (lostinthewarrenofchaos) | 8083 comments Mod
Don't forget the novellas between 2 and 3. I believe they are free on audio and TGR is a great narrator.


message 16: by Samir (new)

Samir (royceblackwater) | 842 comments Just finished The Death of Dulgath and moved The Riyria Chronicles to ''up to date'' section because Sullivan started writing the fourth book and moved The Blood Dragon Empire from ''up to date'' to the ''completed'' section because there are no news of a potential sequel.


message 17: by Bill (new)

Bill | 2150 comments I just did the same with Riyria Chronicles. Going to start getting mad when authors add on to a series now. Even when it is things I want to read.

Do novellas count? Yikes! I haven't been including those.

Yeah I know what you mean. I get a little aggravated when a series is done and then gets more added to it, unless it's really, really good.

When it comes to this series I really don't mind.

In Sullivan's defense he said in the introduction to book 1 that he wasn't sure if he would do 1 or 12 books. So in this case it's not really adding books after it was closed.

I don't mind with this series either, because it's really good. And they are prequel stories so you can read them or not and it doesn't mess with the ending of the original trilogy.

Tammie | 5952 comments Margret wrote: "I don't like it either, especially when there was a clear ending already"

Yes that's the worst. The Mortal Instruments series comes to mind.


message 24: by Samir (new)

Samir (royceblackwater) | 842 comments I added The World Reborn series to my ''up to date'' list. I had great time reading the first book, The Red Heir.

Your review convinced me to add to my to-read list.

Thanks. Good to know. I read the first a few years back and am planning on finishing at some point this year.
