Demon's Lure and Silver Scales end in "uncertain position", but I can't think of any of the other thirteen books that I've published that do. Which ones do you mean?
Also, I published the sequels to those two books within the next, like, 60 days, instead of making readers wait several months or years to see when/if I'm gonna share the rest. :P (Although the sequel to Penric's Mission came out around three months later, so this one was a very short wait by trad pub standards. But IIRC it took until the novella after that one to wrap one of the plot arcs from Penric's Mission.)
I think I do find it more irritating when a series has a few standalones and then an installment that doesn't stand alone, though. I don't like it with the first book, either. But if you set a pattern of standalones and then break the pattern, it's jarring.
