I should like to point out that the Cassandra Kresnov series by Joel Shepherd is not finished. Two more books that are not in that list have come out. '23 Years on Fire' and 'Operation Shield'.

Just did a copy-and-paste of the list I posted about 2 years ago. So yes, there are some new installments in some of those series... =)

J'ai commencé Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn en français et je trouve le début très lent, j'ai le premier volume de terminé et il ne se passe pas grand chose à date (correspond à la première moitié du tome 1 anglais). Je poursuis Pat ?

Patrick said...

Oui, c'est du Tad Williams, donc c'est slow. Mais la série en vaut la peine!
