How do y’all feel about continuing a series after an author dies? To me, I think one last book can be written to end it, but the series should rest with the author, just my thoughts though. I’m in the middle of a series right now and some random lady is “finishing” it, but she has written like 7 books that show no end. I’m not mad, but I just want to feel the satisfaction of completing a series and having the whole collection.
I honestly think this is how the Song of Ice and Fire series is going to finish. George is going to get out maybe one more book before dying and someone else is going to pick up his notes and write 1-2 more books to finish it out.
If George gets pre-warning of his death the way Robert Jordan did I can see him perhaps arranging for Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck to finish the series for him. They are protégés and friends of his and accomplished authors together as James SA Corey and individually. I don’t see either be willing to do it though posthumously unless George already approved it.
