> A comparable situation to a narrative-driven TV show being cancelled on a cliffhanger would be if your copy of Dune cut off right after Paul meets Chani and the rest of the book is missing. Sure, I’m fine with that analogy too. The second half of the book missing doesn’t retroactively diminish the first half. (I’ll allow that maybe you only get some of the enjoyment of the first half when you actually finish the book rather than when you actually read it, but it’s not a retroactive change.)
