And then add some more! I started just after the first book came out, it must have been around the early 90's as I have a first edition ( paper back though not hardback!) back then I subscribed to the sci-fi book club, so it was I think one of their recommended reads! It must have been over twenty years ago! I can remember waiting impatiently for different books to get published at first, that ebbed as the series seemed to (excuse the joke) roll on and on. A bit like the game of thrones series, in that as the gap grew between books the anticipation dipped rather than grew, especially with some books which due to the sheer size of the story arc were more like fillers rather than plot progressing. Unlike game of thrones of course there was not a tv series to keep the appetite growing or refresh the plot. It became a chore almost, as in order to appreciate new books especially later on in the series I felt I had to recap on the earlier books! Quite a task by the final book! Having said that, because I wanted to know what the end would be I knew I would regret not finishing the series.
