Sequel??

Post by Chesko »

I loved the author's depiction of Brandy and John's relationship. He talks about their family, their children Arthur and Katrina, and I thought there could be a story there. I do not know if there would be enough to write about, but I would like to know how that family navigates through life experiences. Maybe even another piracy adventure. What do you think??

I don't see the need for a sequel the book did just find. A sequel might be harmful to the popularity of this book.

I don't think a sequel is necessary. I love how the book was written and how it ended. A sequel might make the storyline deviate from path and alter its originality.

This book ended fine in my opinion. There’s no need for a sequel because this would water down the originality of the story.

I think the book ends well and I don't see any need for a sequel. Creating a sequel might make the book less interesting as it might be filled with repetition.

I don’t think a sequel is possible, there’s just not enough there. Also, the time period for the kind of pirates this is about is almost past.

I do not believe the author left room for a sequel. The ending of the book pretty well ties everything up.

In my opinion, I do not see the need for a sequel. This book was well-written, and I don't think there are any loose ends. No need for a sequel.

I utterly loved this book, but I also think that the story was complete. It doesn’t need a sequel and I am afraid writing one would do harm to this book. I will surely keep an eye on other works of this author, but I hope he never even considers writing a sequel to this one.

A sequel might not be necessary. However, how can we say no to the winds of creativity? As long as it doesn't affect the originality of the first.

I also had some aspect of curiosity as to how they would navigate through their lives but according to the ending given I feel that it ended well enough.

Yes, I agree with others above, to a point.. a sequel is not really needed.
Although, I could see a sequel, only if it goes on into telling about her future. Or maybe some of her memories back through her past, as she retells them to maybe other friends or something? I guess it depends on how the sequel is written.

I think the ending was pretty amazing, leaving no room for a sequel. Everything was solved, and I loved how it turned out. But if the author decided to write a sequel, I'd read it.

I don't think a sequel is necessary because according to the reviews and other comments here the ending seems well done. But if there happens to be a sequel i would love to read it.
