I think the only scenario that would piss me off is if SKZB wrote a book that was just flat-out uninteresting. 

But this seems to be fundamentally contrary to his entire writing philosophy, so I don't consider it very likely. 

In a world where magic exists, death is not permanent, and ex-assassins can eat all the rich food they want without ever getting fat, anything bad that can happen can always be corrected in the next book anyway.
