Nowadays I don't really have any authors or book series like this. As I kid I used to get really excited for a new Series of Unfortunate Events or Alex Rider book. For a while I kept my eye on Adrian Tchaikovsky, but lately I've found some of his novels to be hit or miss.

The only book release I'm currently looking forward to is Brigands & Breadknives in the Legends & Lattes series by Travis Baldree. The other two books have been cosy and wholesome, and it's become a little tradition of mine to read these books around Christmas.

Well, I kind of had a bad luck with authors.

My first big (and favourite) fantasy series was Wheel of Time, and author died before the last book (silver lining: when Sanderson finished the series, I got introduced to him). Also started A Song of Ice and Fire and well, we all know how that went. That is when I decided I should wait for series to complete. Which is also why I haven't read Wise Man's Fear yet, used to follow Rothfuss' blog and heard great things about it, but wanted him to finish the series.
