You cannot have four books in a trilogy.

Agreed, and yet...

Quadrogy?

What IS the word for a 4-book series?

[northernwalker]

Quartet, according to Wikipedia. Or tetralogy, which sounds vaguely scientific.

Oooh, me likey tetralogy. Definitely fancy-sounding.

I'm going to give Douglas Adams a pass but otherwise wince with you if anyone else is being that obviously wrong and annoying.

It was Mercedes Lackey. "Redoubt is the fourth book in the Collegium Chronicles trilogy."

Reader, I groaned.

It's actually rather nice to have an author I can add to the Don't Read list. Since I started this journal I am developing an alarmingly long list of Things To Read.

They aren't bad- they're fluffy fantasy and some days that's what I need. This was actually on her website, so I'm hoping it was her web person's doing.

If you want any recs, take a look at the books/book list tags on my journal. My choices are kind of random- I read everything from paranormal romance to WWII espionage to mixed martial arts.

Fluffy fantasy is right up my alley. Diana Wynne Jones is a favorite. I'll definitely skim your journal a bit more for recs, thanks!
