* ScheduleSlip: The third book was originally due out in autumn of 2009. For various reasons, it was not released until October 2013.
** The 4th book has the same problem. The author even gave an exact publishing date in 2016, but then announced just a few weeks before that date that he wasn't finished yet after all. (Leading some fans to finally lose patience with him, because they'd already gone through the work of rereading the prievious books in anticipation, and because the nature of the book publishing process means that either he announced the publishing date already knowing he wouldn't be able to keep it[[note]]To be in shops by that date, he would have had handed the finished manuscript in to the publisher already when he made the announcement.[[/note]] - or that he is covering for somebody else's major mess-up by lying to his fans.) Half a year later, we're still waiting, and currently Amazon gives a publishing date in September 2019.
