I recently came across the latest book in The Sword of Truth series (Pillars of something or other) and read a few pages before realizing it was the latest in a long series. I was wondering if anyone can recommend for or against reading the books. Also can anyone can tell me if the series will ever be finished? I don't mind reading a long series, I just would like to get to the end before I forget what happened in all of the previous books or the author dying. Just so you know I prefer my fantasy dark and, well... grim.
