Strictly speaking it should only be whichever one of those books you read last that counts for this challenge. One day I might get around to rewriting the explanation like I said I would a couple of months ago.

Each book should complete a set.

I just finished John Christopher's Tripods Trilogy yesterday, with The Pool of Fire, for my second book. There are four books listed for the series on WWE, but the fourth is a much later prequel which seems kind of optional, and anyway it was an omnibus so could be counted on that basis. I enjoyed it. Not too demanding, but well-written, and a nice little two-day quickie after three weeks reading James Clavell's Shogun. I'm moving straight on into another series-concluder: The Other Wind by Ursula Le Guin. I guess the Earthsea series kind of has three endpoints - the original trilogy; the first four books; and all six books of the canon - but this is the final final book. So far.
