Standalone. I'm usually not motivated to read a whole series and some times they can go on for too long and it just gets stupid at times.

One of my favorite series of books is the Incarnations of Immortality series by Piers Anthony. Definitely a long series, and definitely worth the read.

I prefer medium-sized series. The longer they get, unfortunately, the higher the chance that the quality will deteriorate. But for medium-sized series, that's not usually the case.

I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night.

In my experience, the fantasy genre does not have a lot of standalone novels. Most are series, and I like that. I love the anticipation I feel moving on to the next book, especially when the last one ends with a cliffhanger.
