Completed trilogies for those who hate waiting for sequels

Some believe that waiting for a sequel makes one enjoy it more as the anticipation makes it better. However, in the era of instant gratification, that kind of patience is rare and readers often like to binge-read through series. Waiting for a sequel is unendurable and many like to start a series only when they know it is complete. For those readers, here are some completed trilogies that they can start now.

Also called the Wolf Hall trilogy, after the first book in the series, the books are historical fiction that follow the life of Thomas Cromwell, who worked for King Henry VIII. The series follows his rise to power in King Henry's court and has gripped readers worldwide. The first two parts of the trilogy 'Wolf Hall' and 'Bring Up the Bodies' both received a Booker prize and the third just released so it might win a Booker too! The writing is beautiful and truly a pleasure to read. Avid historians might already know how Cromwell's tale ends, but that will in no way diminish the pleasure of reading the book. With lots of political intrigue and power games with beautiful prose and an ending that does justice to the immensity of the series, it's truly worth a read.
