Reading book series: Can you go the extra mile?

I love reading book series. Mystery, romance, thriller, sci-fi, or fantasy. doesn’t matter to me. I am avid about them. But I’m beginning to feel like after the third book, the writer is trying too hard to keep things rolling. Some writers are good about making each book in their series as close to a standalone as you can get without being one. But recently, some writers I read have fallen short. And it’s sad because reading about familiar characters and their escapades always gives me a sense of enjoyment. But sometimes now, the series is SOOOOO long and overgrown
Inspiration
Inspiration according to the dictionary is 1.an inspiring or animating action or influence. 2.something inspired, as an idea. 3.a result of inspired activity. 4.a thing or person that inspires. Inspiration is like buried treasure Some of my best inspiration has come from books and movies. I love classics, and read a lot of old books because when I find an author I like I go back to their first book and work all the way through their list of books.Brandon Sanderson is one of those at the moment, as is Robin Hobbs. Movies etc. –I am such a Gossip Girl
