hot take: i HATE a series. people really get angry at me for this but if there’s a sequel or prequel, i don’t want it. i want one book. one novel, that’s it

i think the reason i hate it is because the genres i prefer don’t really have sequels. so it wouldn’t make sense for me to read them

I agree because a lot of the time I burn out on the story before I finish the series. If I pick it back up I don’t remember what happened.

If I love a story I can do a trilogy but that’s usually it. Except THG and Percy Jackson. I’d read 82736829192873 books from either of those series

Big big fan of duologies honestly. Two books, just enough time for a bigger plot. Trilogies tho?? That’s commitment, you gotta really convince me for that

Also I feel like Harry Potter is one of those series where almost all of the books are really good (if we ignore who wrote them)
