I've just gotten to reading the Best of Glen Cook. I was reluctant to reengage after being disappointed with Working God's Mischief, and feeling like I've been hanging from a cliff since 2013 wondering what has to Garrett. But I'm enjoying the stories, not the least because I think his older writing is his best. The little vignettes before each story are insightful, like Glen thinks The Dragon Never Sleeps is his best work (I'd agree). Did anyone notice that the in the 3rd story, In the Wind, which is related to the Starfisher's Trilogy, that there are windwhales and mantas, just like on the Plain of Fear in the Black Company?

Great stuff, left unresolved when Feintuch died. And then there’s Rothfuss and Martin... I’ve never met the man, but Cook didn’t look particularly healthy to me in photos a couple years back. The last book of Instrumentalities of the Night seemed like it was thrown to get her in a haphazard rush, as if it was supposed to be a few more volumes, but had to be finished. Little output for a while now when he was regularly publishing for a long time. Hope we get more.

I loved the Garrett P.I. series and the readers were left hanging. The same thing happened to me with the Thraxas series, written by Martin Scott, a pseudonym for Martin Millar. Thraxas is also a fat P.I. in a universe populated by orcs and other creatures. The author wrote eight books and left everyone hanging. Then he published three more 8 to 11, and once again needs to close the series out but I have not seen anything at all.
