I think this finishes off the middle series of Am adolescent Arcs (see plot below for explanation). The End of this Arc will be a monumental landmark (the biggest so far in the series), which is why it’s feeling so significant right now, but remember, the milestone is a point that one passes, it is not the destination. Below is how I see the Adolescent Arcs unfolding as a trilogy of arcs.

Note that The Last King series proper consists of five “official” books, but diehard fans like myself will tell you to read the companion short story “The Black Herald” between Book 4 and Book 5. It is the best way to experience the true development of the protagonist from a tough, rough-around-the-edges-outlaw-type to a noble, reluctant leader. And the last book’s cover art, with the broken-up crown, still sends shivers down my spine.

The critically acclaimed ‘Nevermoor’ series by Jessica Townsend is currently comprised of three books: ‘Nevermoor: The Trials of Morrigan Crow’, ‘Wundersmith: The Calling of Morrigan Crow’ and ‘Hollowpox: The Hunt for Morrigan Crow’. The books follow Morrigan Crow, a determined and feisty protagonist, as she journeys through the magical world of Nevermoor, full of wonder and magic, facing various challenges and dangers along the way. The first book sets up Morrigan’s escape from her cursed life and subsequent arrival in Nevermoor in search of a new beginning.
Jessica Townsend has a brilliant way with words, transporting readers to Nevermoor with his wonderful descriptions of all the people that Morrigan meets. It’s a really light-hearted read, but has some deeper moments too. We’re told that more books are going to be added to the series, and I for one cannot wait to continue the adventures of Morrigan Crow in this fascinating and original take on fantasy.

I checked a few manga databases to confirm. The original First Edition Tankoubon had 18 volumes. Later a Renewed Tankoubon edition was published in 2003 in 18 volumes as well. It is only with the so-called ‘perfect’ or ‘collector’s’ editions that the number of volumes starts to vary. For the purpose of this thread, however, we are talking about the original manga as first released, translated into dozens of languages and read by millions of people worldwide to create a global phenomenon. These are great for new readers in omnibus editions, which are even more affordably priced and published on better paper. But for the collector of old manga or for the manga purist these 18 volumes are what he or she is looking for. The casual reader of manga who only wants to read the story, on the other hand, can opt for any complete edition that contains the above mentioned 18 volumes of manga.

Honestly, who's counting? The To All the Boys series is great and you should just read them all. Okay, fine. According to the internet, there are 11 main To All the Boys books. There are also millions of other books about Kitty’s sister, Linda. But To All the Boys features the story of Mia Corretti. I read the entire series last summer and absolutely loved it. The books get more in-depth in the later novels, exploring themes of therapy, activism and the challenges of growing up. In the 11th and final book, I felt that the author wrapped up the characters and their story lines up well and gave them a proper goodbye. 11 books is just the right number. It tells a complete story and then is done. There are so many other series that could follow this same model.

Yes, this is a three-book series. I have noticed that people get confused with this book because of the title of the first book being so iconic. While the sequels do follow the characters and continue the story, they do not have the same ‘wow’ factor as the first book. ‘Too Good to Be True’ continues to build the world and ‘The Last Goodbye’ wraps up any loose ends.
As for the box set or an omnibus edition of Carrey Mill Malcolm’s „Tr additions“- these will have to contain all three books of the series, as there are no more books planned to be published.

This was kind of overhyped for me. It was just okay. A spicy read that would have been perfectly fine as a standalone novel. Instead we get a series of follow-up novels where the same dynamics play out with different characters. It’s kind of like a limited series that for some reason gets picked up for more seasons than it needs. If you really enjoyed The Never King, then just stop there. More of a good thing is not necessarily better.

So is it worth it? For the first book, yes. It’s a masterpiece. For the sequels, that’s less clear and it really depends on how you feel about diminishing returns. My feeling is that while Herbert adds lots of stuff in the sequels, the quality of what he adds declines significantly. The consensus seems to be that Dune is the best, then it declines, but then mysteriously increases again in God Emperor of Dune (some people hate it, others love it). The last two books are hit or miss for most readers. So it’s a page count gamble. Sometimes you’ll read 1,000 pages of absolute wonder and then another 2,000 pages of varying degrees of confusion and frustration, but it’s all worth it for me because the high points are so, so high and the book is so, so original even when it’s badly written and confusing.

What rewarded patience throughout the entire series were the long, seemingly dull chapters in the middle books of the series. What were initially boring would develop into insightful moments with the characters oreven more in-depth world-building that would pay off in a huge way in later books. The length of these chapters allowed for such in-depth moments and it would be easy to miss out on many of the minute details if one were to skim throughout the book.

This book is Number 25 in the Heartland series and sustained a single protagonist and a single theme throughout this long work of fiction is a monumental achievement. Not only did Lauren Brooke go for such a long time, but the subsequent novels were written by ghostwriters, working to publisher’s directions. Thus it is testimony to the powers of Lauren Brooke and subsequently the publisher and ghostwriters that each new book introduced new horses, new client problems andAmy and Ty’s ongoing personal growth, while never straying from the core of ‘Heartland’. This is far harder to achieve than it seems. A very impressive literary feat.
