The power of series

I’ve fallen into the trap again, that dangerous and alluring trap of the book series.  I blame Holly Black and Kathleen Duey for the recent trip down this tempting path.  I bought the first book in the series of each author to help me prep for the SCBWI Summer Conference, but they’re kind of like Pringles: once you pop you can’t stop.  After reading the first books, I had to then go buy all the rest of the ones in the series.  For Holly Black’s books, I was able to get the whole set, but for Kathleen Duey, I could only get the first two books.  The third book isn’t out for publication and, maddeningly, the second book ends in a cliff-hanger.  Can the next book get published already?  I’m waiting anxiously, here.  Better yet, can I be Kathleen’s critique partner?
