All of those events stuffed into three books would have been super action-packed and with none of the stretching that became awkward and overdone.

I think--not having read the last couple of books in the series--that Estep overreached. The Mythos Academy books should have had a shorter arc.

...what I nice article! Thank you for sharing that. <br /><br />I'd say Mythos is a little bit of both of those first two categories. Each story has its on arc, so there's more closure in each book than, say, in the books of Lord of the Rings. But there is most definitely an overarching plot and you must read the books in order (though, with Gwen's propensity for rehashing events, maybe you could get away with skipping around!) <br /><br />It's kind of like the Harry Potter series, where there's a conclusion to each book arc, but the books together make up one large story.

Btw, a really interesting post on fantasy/sci fi series by Jo Walton: http://www.tor.com/blogs/2014/01/what-makes-this-book-so-great-so-what-sort-of-series-do-you-like<br /><br />She talks about adult series; I think YA series mostly fall into the "one book with extra pieces of cardboard," or the "volume closure but need to read the books in order."
