Book Series I Started (and loved) but Never Finished

I haven’t finished a lot of series, and I realised this when I was gathering books for my 20 Books for 20 Years post. So, here’s a list of book series I started, enjoyed, and plan to finish. Eventually.

The Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer

Cinder is one of the many books that have sparked joy in my life, and I can’t really say why I haven’t finished reading this series, especially since I have Winter, which is the book I’m yet to read.

The Premonition by Amy Bartol

It always helps when I have all the books at once, and that was the problem with this series. I binge read the first four books, not knowing that there was a book five that hadn’t yet been released. When I’d waited for over a year to no avail, I had to move on. I now have the fifth book, and I’ll read it one day, but that means I’ll have to re-read the previous books in order to get back into the story.

Kricket by Amy Bartol

I started reading these books when it looked like Ms. Bartol wasn’t forthcoming with the last book in the Premonition series. In fact, while I waited for Iniquity to be released, she released these ones instead, and curiosity got the better of me. I stopped at the first book because I didn’t want to become too invested in an unfinished series. I will definitely continue it, though. One day.

Curse of the Gods by Jaymin Eve and Jane Washington

I wasn’t expecting much when I picked up the first book in this series, but I was pleasantly surprised. I didn’t read past Persuasion, and it’s been long enough now that I’ll have to re-read the series in order to refresh my memory. The only thing stopping me is that I’m aware that this is an imperfect story, and I’m concerned that re-reading it would make me more critical than I was at first read.

Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling

In the book community, I’ve found that it’s taken for granted that a lot of people grew up reading Harry Potter. A lot of people name Harry Potter as the books that got them into reading, and so have a special connection with the series. I’m not one of those people. While I grew up aware of Harry Potter, I didn’t read the books until much later, and so I’m not attached to them. Maybe that’s why I haven’t finished the series till date. Nevertheless, it’s one I enjoyed and plan to finish sometime in the future.

The Wrath and the Dawn by Renee Ahdieh

I read and loved The Wrath and the Dawn but I can’t, for the life of me, remember what happened in it. So, it’s a given that I’ll be rereading it before moving on to the next book.

Flame in the Mist by Renee Ahdieh

*Sighs* I’m out of excuses. I don’t know why I haven’t finished this series, but at this rate, I can only hope I’ll get ’round to doing that.

Are there series you love but for some reason haven’t finished yet? Even though you’ve finally gotten all the books?
