I'm with you on the Scott Lynch front.
Clarifying question: are you saying **** Scott Lynch? Or just angry about the series being unfinished. I could understand both, I know he had some...stuff crop up but I didn't follow it close enough to know what resolution if any was reached. That aside, Lies of Locke Lamora is by far one of my favorite all-time reads. An almost perfect fantasy novel.
The worst part is that I was dumb and didn’t even look into it. I was just walking through barns and noble looking for a book and saw the box set. I heard there was an hbo show coming and the books were good so I bought them without realizing it wasn’t finished.
I had seen ASOIAF pop up repeatedly on lists so I nabbed book 1 for a beach trip back around 2007. I knocked out books 1 - 3 in like a month and a half excluding a week or so where I just had to put Storm of Swords down and digest things I had read. You'll probably know what part of the book that was.
