I love series - I love to revisit old friends. But each book has to be a complete, stand-alone novel. I hate, loathe, and despise cliff-hanger endings. Sharon Lee and Steve Miller almost lost me with the ending of their latest, Ghost Ship. I'll continue, because I trust them that the story arc will end with the next book, which either is almost done or has been turned over to the publishers, I forget which.
I refuse to start the Outlander books, although I've been told I'll love them, until there is an *ending.* As someone upthread has said, I've been burned too many times. I'm collecting all the Dresden books, against the day when the series ends, because I don't trust Jim Butcher to end it well.
