Wondering how everyone approaches a series or books that go on to get a sequel? For the longest time I would automatically reach for any sequels that followed books I loved but now…eh. Sometimes I just like how a story has wrapped up and am not looking for more of the characters even if I enjoyed them the first time around. Anyone else do something similar and/or what are your reading habits when it comes to sequels?
I really only read one-offs and classics now, simply because sequels are so time-consuming and I have no self-control. Lmao.
If I want to, I do. If I don’t want to, I don’t. Sometimes I’ll get through the second book and decide that I’m not interested in the third. Or I’ll try out the sequel and it’s a DNF. All those are options.
It’s no different from choosing to read the first book, really.
i might try a sequel but if it isnt as good i usually dont finish it, example the motes in gods eye was really good i fully enjoyed it. I went to read the second one and its 25 years in the future and really off putting it doesnt make sense with the first one.
If it’s a finished series I always complete the series.
Nope. Sometimes I am okay with just reading the first one.
I have this morbid urge to read the sequel to a book I love, just to see if the author fucks it up.
