The fantasy being inclined to big, epic stories, there are very few tales that are told in less than three books. Do you buy books of a yet unfinished series or do you wait until the whole thing is out? And if the complete story has been released, do you first buy one instalment or do you buy whole trilogies?
In the past, I have often just bought first parts. Recently, however, I have bought whole trilogies on occasion, although only if they were bargains. I find that I often sit through whole trilogies anyway, because I want to know how it ends. I am in the habit, though, of not reading them all in one row - I can merrily skip around between series. (I think the only trilogy I ever read first to third with no other books in between was - of course - The Tawny Man!)
