I LOVE (LOVELOVELOVEx340234) sequels. The more the better. And my FAVORITE series (Harry Potter anyone?) includes some really, REALLY intricate storytelling. I love how things build. How people aren't how you thought they were. I love the connections that are tied together at the end.Jessica Silvahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15405267450788581689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3917729637280439180.post-56694438981759975372011-07-26T13:07:45.452-07:002011-07-26T13:07:45.452-07:00I agree with all of the points listed.

One of my pet peeves is when a character totally changes in the second book, simply for shock value or some other contrived reason.LinWashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13041832821260168483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3917729637280439180.post-90151742590669938982011-07-26T12:38:12.113-07:002011-07-26T12:38:12.113-07:00I do love a good series ;D I'm like you, I lik...I do love a good series ;D I'm like you, I like to see a new side to the characters.Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04313619484424363895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3917729637280439180.post-31340455087347773522011-07-26T11:48:30.542-07:002011-07-26T11:48:30.542-07:00I love sequels especially for all the reasons you ...I love sequels especially for all the reasons you listed above! Sequels for me have to delve deeper, answer a few questions, throw up a few more and make sense to a story's arc! Lovely!!

But maybe because I'm more tuned in to the new books coming out, I've been sticking with standalones. I don't like to get into a book and find out there's a year-long wait for the next one (I'm looking at you, Michael Grant). <br />ericaerica and christyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13074820593371226159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3917729637280439180.post-27981104302490300412011-07-26T09:14:46.863-07:002011-07-26T09:14:46.863-07:00YAY!
