Episode: 91 – [General] Are Book Sequels Going too Far?

Book sequels are everywhere.Fantasy becomes trilogies. Trilogies become sprawling series. Successful books grow into franchises that can last for decades.But is that actually good for storytelling?In this episode I explore why writers keep returning to the same worlds, why readers keep asking for more, and why I sometimes think the most powerful thing a story can do... is end.From worldbuilding and publishing realities to The Wheel of Time, Blood Song, Harry Potter and The Lord of the Rings, this is a conversation about ambition, restraint, and whether "more" really means "better."Type: General | Book: N/A | Writer: N/A
