This story had a wonderful resolution. I have considered the plot of the novel and I do not think that the author will be able to create a sequel that will be as impressive as this book. It is good to leave the stage with grace and I advice the author not to consider a sequel.

A story with no loose ends or cliffhanger does not need a sequel. However, the author might start a pirate series based on this one.

I think the book ended well and a sequel would not be necessary. if at all a sequel is made, it should be a stand-alone novel probably involving a few major characters from the previous and also including the popular "red witch."

If the author can weave a more interesting tale, then a sequence will be good to read. But if not, then a sequel is not necessary.

I hate it when an amazing book ends. It leaves you feeling the need and want for more. I don't want to let the story go but I would have to agree. A sequel would do more harm than good it is a nice touch for the author to leave people wanting for more.

I do think the characters and their potential adventures are interesting enough to carry a sequel, but it's not necessary. In the days when writing series is all the rage, I appreciate that this author resisted the urge to end this novel on a cliffhanger or clear lead-in to another book.

I would love to read a sequel to this book, especially one with either Arthur and or Katrina as the main character. However, a sequel is not needed, a nice to have, not need to have.

I think a sequel is unnecessary. The story wrapped up well enough. In most cases sequels don't end up living up to the standards set by first book.

I don't think a sequel to this book is necessary. The author pretty much summed everything up. Nevertheless, if people really love the book and ask for a sequel I think the author will oblige.

The author did a great job writing this book but I don't think a sequel could come out of it.

I doubt there is any need for a sequel. The author did a good job with this book and it ended properly. I sequel might affect it.

I don't feel that there is a need for a sequel. Unpopular opinion here, but this book felt extremely stilted to me, and I felt more chemistry between the secondary characters than I did between Brandy and John. I was not all that big of a fan during my read.

O also feel like some book don't actually need a sequel. They are better suited to stand alone because of how epic the story was told. So adding a sequel would only harm the original

In art of all forms, less is more. Any part of the book that you feel should be elaborated on should be left to the reader’s imagination. Covering all loopholes and providing too many details in a sequel will leave the reader with too much information that’ll in turn take its toll on the book’s quality.

The author wrapped up everything conclusively and gave details about the fate of some characters, details not mentioned in the earlier chapters. I think the author left no room for a sequel or is not planning to write one.
