    I had the same reaction. George R.R. Martin, Patrick Rothfuss, Scott Lynch, and Brandon Sanderson have me spooked.

      Of all those people, Sanderson shouldn’t have you spooked at all. As long as he doesn’t die, he will finish what he starts, I guarantee it.

        Hell, he picked up and finished the massive Wheel of Time series for Robert Jordan.

      Brandon Sanderson is a machine. Nothing like the others

        It’s about the frequency of Stormlight Archives releases. Last I checked, he stated he had over a dozen Cosmere novels to release before the next one drops. If he gets hit by a truck, that’s the end of it.

          A dozen cosmere novels is what, four years of writing for him?

        Apparently he has crippling anxiety. I get it and, out of everyone I’ve listed, I’m very okay with him and Sanderson. I’m just wary of getting invested in unfinished series. Lynch only has the Gentleman Bastards series, which I fell in love with. Sanderson has so many literary irons in the fire that he’s going to have gobs of unfinished business if something happens to him or he pulls a GRRM and just fucks off one day.
