I have a rant about that; COLLABORATORS (Read ghost writers, or how to write a book without actually having to work at it)! I picked up 1632 by Eric Flint for free over at Baen, and loved it. Then I got the next book in the series, also free and also exclusively by Eric Flint. I enjoyed that one also.
Then I began buying the paid ones, albeit a good price at $6.99, but Mr. Flint had begun taking on collaborators, and the series went to hell! I wasn't even able to finish my last read (1634 The Bavarian Crisis) It was so fragmented and filled with minutia that it was difficult to find a story line, or keep the various and sundry characters straight. I just gave up and bought, for re-reading, J.R.R. Tolken's The Lord of the Rings, which I'm enjoying immensely!
