Tired of these series books
922464
I am not one that usually complains, but I am so tired of these series books that should have actually been one novel. The writing is great but seriously to pay almost 18 dollars for books that should have been one is ridiculous ! If converted in South African rands that is almost As much as some of the peoples weekly wages! Rather complete one book , ask 8 dollars and have a fan for life. Than doing this stupid series stuff that costs an arm and a leg that normal people can not afford!

The author is really dragging her butt in finishing this series.  I've read this series three times and I'm still waiting for the finale.  I hate it when authors start a new series without first finishing the first one.  I'm at a point where I'm losing interest in this author and I'm certainly not going to start another of her series without the completion of this one.  I think Book 7 should be the last one in the Heller series because it's obvious this author is also losing interest.  Only thing is Book 7 is forever not coming ..............sigh!  Tilley needs closure.

Frankly, the series simply is not worth the time and when will it ever stop.  Doesn't matter I stopped reading.  And what's up with the Jesus thing?

I've been reading the series since the first book. The last couple of books seem like Schettler is trying to tie together disparate threads from his previous works (not just the Kirov series). It doesn't really work for me.
The books are becoming tedious and Doppelganger doesn't move the story line forward much.  Maybe Schettler is trying to make this series his cash cow like the 'Game of Thrones' tv series.

So disappointed in the way this series is headed. Lucy needs a shrink, no one tells the truth to each other, everyone is out to get anyone associated with Kay, Carrie is a dead end - and all of the repetitive storytelling.  If Kay tells us one time that she can't tell anyone about the recordings, she tells us 50.  This book could have been 100 pages shorter if Cornwell had removed all the repeating information.  Someone put Kay on an anti-depressant and  have her get some help for her paranoia.  Let Marino get laid and stop bitching.  Tell Brice to shut up.  I used to love this series but these last three books have been a snoozefest.  I keep reading in hopes that they will get better, but it is becoming obvious that Cornwell isn't enjoying writing them and I'm not enjoying reading them.

That's it for me. I loved the initial 5 books where there were characters and plot. The digression of this series is sad. I've spent the last dollar on her self indulgence.

The first and second book in the series were great. Now it seem the author is just writing words that
will fill a book that can be sold as part of a great series that is now not very interesting.

I have loved this series but the characters are just getting too unlikeable and even changing from their strongly established characteristics.  Wrath, the King of the Vampires even changes height.  One of the things that set these apart from the mindless fluff and sex that make up most romance novels was the strong character development and plot line outside the romance.  That's gone to hell in this series with the last two books.  I doubt I'll continue reading.

i usded to enjoy these books but now it seems that they are just ticking things off a list.  kill cars check. steph is poor check. grandma mazur is waacky check. lula freaks out check. morreli vs ranger check.  Stephanie used to have some depth and morals but not anymore.  a total waste of characters that could have been great.  don't waste your time until the offical last book maybe then something will be worth the effort

I'm done with this series.  I did not like the last book, but thought I'd give it one more try.  UGH!  This book was so BORING!  I normally read a book in a few days.  This took me almost two weeks!  I just couldn't stand it - I'd read a couple pages and had to stop - boring and just a repetition of earlier books, but not in a good way.  There is no character growth and I'm getting sick and tired of the way Mallory treats her father's poker buddies, along with just about everything else.  I'm done.

In the past I'd really enjoyed this series, but after picking up books 9-11 and reading them all one right after the other in less than two weeks, I found this book especially to be too repetitious to thoroughly enjoy. The same descriptive phrases are used over, and over, and over again. Harry snarls, Molly whimpers, and Mouse pads. Murphy takes every opportunity to point out she's a cop. I felt like I knew every description of every character and their behavior before it even happened. Even the new twists at this point feel old and familiar, and not in a good way.

I'm disappointed there was no real follow up on Michael. I'm tired of hearing about the black counsel, when several books into the idea, it's still just a theory. Eventually I think I'll pick up book 12, but I think this is a series that you definitely need to have breaks between books.

I'm a big SCiFi and Alt History fan, so even though I'm Japanese I enjoyed the first few novels of this series.  However, the last few novels have become more tedious to read since its just more of the same.  Honestly, I think this series should have been ended at book 4 or 5.  I understand that the author is trying to expand his world in order to keep the series going, but it's just becoming repetitive and boring.  I doubt if I'll buy any more books in this series.

This is the last Robin Hobb book I am ever buying,  this could have been a great series except that she used it as a podium to beat us about the head with her gay lifestyle issues, pro gay issues and ideas that she is trying to program into the poor kids who only wanted to read about Dragons.  She seems to have brought up gay issues in all her other books but I am sick and tired of seeing authors trying to sway young minds to their own way of thinking through what a kid might be reading.  Kids do not need to be programmed for this kind of warped thinking or lifestyle.

This series started out really well and I looked forward to the next instalment.  The last book was disappointing and unfortunately this book is worse. The storyline has lost the plot and is not credible at all.  I find the new writing style of disjointed conversations, phone messages etc. annoying. It has gotten so bad that I don't care what happens to the characters next.  Sorry, but won't be buying any more of these books.

I am about 70% done with this book, and I got to tell you I am a little tired, ok, a lot tired of Anton Clay! Seven books and he still is in the picture and it is dragging this series down. I am not sure I will read book eight if he isn't gone after this one.

This Saxon series is winding down, but apparently Bernard Cornwell doesn't realize it. The first couple of books (one of which has been adapted for TV and given new life to the series) were more straightforward and left the reader with a sense of reaching a goal. This latest addition just feels like filler to get us to the next book. There are fights, for sure, but honestly: nothing of consequence happens here that couldn't have been summed up in a few pages.

It has been a couple of years since I read the last installment, so to be honest, I had lost the thread of the narrative. The fact that several characters have names which are confusingly similar (male and female), or even identical, doesn't help the reader latch on. I would NEVER recommend this book to someone who hadn't read all the previous books, preferably recently. And as I complained in an earlier review, Uhtred's never-ending stream of invective against the Christian God is now just a predictable annoyance.

I just finished this the other night and all I remember distinctly is a couple of swords and lots of pus. Not a high recommendation. I should also mention my ongoing tirade against Cornwell's annoying quirk of ending every chapter and section with a short contrived sentence. Did he do it again in this book. Yes, he did.
