Having myself a mini-marathon with the final two volumes of Robert V.S. Redick's "The Chathrand Voyage" series (epic fantasy/nautical). I put the series down when it grew from its originally planned three volumes to four. Now that the final book is out, I look forward to reading both books straight through and putting another series to bed! The goal is to never be stuck in the middle of another fantasy series (the one story/multiple installments kind) again. Just a handful to go now.
I've found that after the initial anticipation of a new series (or subseries)... it's quite painless to wait until I have a complete story to read (and the reward is quite sweet).
I've slowly been making a fantasy reading transition where series' will be the exception rather than the rule.
