What’s the longest series you’ve finished? 
•
As of a few weeks ago, my answer can officially be The Expanse by James SA Corey! 
•
Overall, this was an excellent series and very consistent in the writing and the pacing of each book. At the heart of it, we follow the crew of a spaceship called the Rocinante as the universe goes through some pretty big changes over a span of decades.
•
I, to nobody’s shock, preferred some of the more introspective and character focused installments to the non-stop action and plot heavy books, but every book ended up being at least a 4 star read for me.
•
The bonds of forged family run deep in this series, and woven throughout are the politics and ethical questions that accompany humanity’s expansion to the stars. I love the crew of the Roci with my whole heart, with Amos and Alex being my favorites. Bobbie and Avasarla hold a close second place.
•
Now that I have finished this series after two years, I can dive into Vorkosigan! Although I might try to at least read one Realm of the Elderlings book first. I’ve been working on THAT long series for 5 years now, but who’s counting? 😂
•
Take care out there, friends!

I’m just a couple books into the expanse. Really enjoying it though. Wheel of time is the longest I read but it was just okay for me.

I’ve read all of the Game of Thrones books and spinoffs and all of Outlander. I’m on Book 4 of The Expanse now! 😎

Always so nice to see a post from you pop up! Does the 9 Realm of the Elderlings count? Not technically one series, but ...

That’s an achievement! I’m still on book one! There’s something about knowing that it’s a long series that puts me off, but it’s definitely one I want to read

Wheel of Time 😄 But I hope to finish the Realm of the Elderlings this year, so then it would be the longest.

Wheel of Time! The Dresden Files is longer but not finished yet so it doesn't count 😁
