The thing about series is you have more time to get invested in the characters. While you could read ROSB on it’s own I don’t think Amy and Poe’s getting together would have nearly as much impact.

The other thing I love about series is imagining what’s going to happen. You know the characters so you know how they might react to things. I completely know what I want to happen in Rampant 2 and I know what I don’t want to happen too!

Although lots of series have not gone along the lines I wanted, but the writing is so good that it made the choices make sense for those characters. I can only think of one instance where I wanted to throw the book across the room and jump up and down on it because I’d invested a lot in those characters and they got a ending I just couldn’t believe in.
