After about a year and a half I finished the last current Deathlands book this week, number 155. I then immediately started a spin off set in the same world called "Trader" which is currently only 4 books long.

By the end of it I'm not sure how I was feeling. I'm not sick of it yet and I like how it has transitioned into a lot longer, over arcing stories towards the end. Rather than all stand alone books. However some of the characters have lost a bit of consistency in their behaviour towards these last 25 books or so I feel. I think the new writers have changed the way some of the characters react and behave in certain situations that doesnt fit to how I knew those characters in the previous 130 books.

I'll still get any new books that follow as I am still enjoy most of the characters but I'm also kind of glad that I can take a bit of a break and just have something to look forward to in spaced out intervals.
