Thankfully, the next year or so should see the end of the Wheel Of Time series and Thomas Covenant's chronicles.
I have invested so much time and effort in both of these series that I deserve to know how they end up!

Thomas Covenant is still ongoing?
Perfect example for this thread: first trilogy went from decent/good to tolerable. Second trilogy bored me. Without the central premise of the first trilogy it didn't work for me. (And even that frayed early.) (As is, I found Marion Zimmer Bradley's HOUSE BETWEEN THE WORLDS a more interesting take on the same conceit.)
Anyway, I'd heard Donalson had gone back to the well for a third time but I wasn't even faintly interested.
Still, out of curiosity (and nostalgia: they were some of the first fantasies I read way back when), how many is the series up to?
