Aw, I'm sorry. Think of the anxiety attacks the poor publisher is having! They've been living off a steady stream of cash from you due to your addiction to repetitive claptrap. What are they gonna do?

An anxiety ATTACK? Or just some momentary sadness and needing a few minutes alone, maybe? There are so many reports of anxiety and panic "attacks" on this site that I wonder how anyone leaves their house. The actual prevalence of diagnosed disorder is nowhere near as high as is reported on here. Real sufferers find their attacks terrifying, inexplicable, crippling, and embarrassing. Please don't trivialize. Oh, and sorry your series ended, but get a grip or the world will eat you alive.

You are right. I should have said those who fit DSM criteria, not "real" sufferers. All suffering is real. Point taken. Anxiety attacks have become the new hypoglycemia, though, with everyone thinking they have the actual clinical condition and it is tiring to read constantly. Just my opinion. Thanks.

#34, when I read the last Harry Potter, my thought was, "She should have stopped at a trilogy!"

Inheritance cycle was f*ckinng amazing. Though it seems OP could be talking about The Rangers Apprentice series as well, as the closing story in that series was just released as well.

Harry Potter, Henderson's Boys, the saga of Darren Shan, the Inheritence Cycle, the Demonata... to name but a few. I'm well familiar with the feeling OP. It's okay, it'll stop hurting eventually. On the bright side, A Song of Ice and Fire won't end for at least another few years!

Don't worry they always make spin offs, web comics and movies! And hey, you can always find a new series to fall in love with, that's the beauty of literature!
