Is there a book/saga that you finished and cannot forget to the point where it gets harder to read other books? (sh.itjust.works)

For me, the first time this happened was with The Royal Assassin Saga from Robin Hobb, and then Metro 2033.

This year, it’s The Witcher saga… (I can’t move on) I love all those introspective books with thoughtful heroes trying to make sense of the world they are forced to evolve into.

Do you have any other book like that?

Malazan Book of the Fallen was like this for me. Great worldbuilding. Big ideas and loads of characters. Lots of obscure detail, all the way down to potsherds and verdigris.

When I finished, I had a powerful impulse to reread the series immediately after finishing it.

I binged books 1 through 4 absolutely loved them. Then book 5 happened and I forced my way through it. And now starting Bonehunters, no energy to go on. I just needed a break is Midnight Tides exhausting for everyone? I was so thrown off with a whole book being a flashback.
