Good idea. I'll add the series to my TBR list, but will also only start to buy/read books after the fifth, assuming that first series is a finished part.

edit: wow. 3 years per book are planned. That is 30 years of writing. So in 2023 I can start reading book 1, and the last book will appear somewhere around 2037 when I'm closer to 60 than 50. I wonder if it's actually possible to plan a book series THAT far ahead and not mess it up.

Now that I'm reading/watching Shannara again, I've realised that Brooks hasn't been writing trilogies for a long time. He has been writing 1200 page books, split up into three parts.

I wonder if other fantasy writers have been doing the same lately. I must say that I've mostly been reading older fantasy.
