I am taking this opportunity to kvetch about a trend in fantasy novels. Turning them into SiFi in the last chapter or so.
A series I picked up a few years back started as clear and entertaining Fantasy. An immortal who wanted to die, got himself arrested and sentenced to death by beheading (which would only make him have amnesia, but that's better than nothing), but when the day came the executioner had a family emergency so they decided to just hang him...Trust me it's quite funny.
By the end of the series *sigh* no humor, almost all of the characters DIE - that happens when a planet explodes - and it's suddenly some vague time in Earths future. NONE of the interesting conflicts in the plot are resolved and in fact the author takes great pains to make sure that the angst of the denouement is still in full force as you close the book. It's labeled as a "trilogy" so no more books....it was worse than a Japanese movie.
SO, my advice as a long time reader. PICK ONE AND BE THAT! If you are getting "board" with a book or series take a little time to write something else don't turn your current project into the new thing.
