Prompt: Books that need a sequel
I really had to think about this one, but I did come up with an answer.
I don't know that it needs a sequel -- it does fine as a stand-alone -- but I'd love to read a sequel, or even a follow-up Novella, to Martha Wells' fantasy book Wheel of the Infinite. The story features an older woman, the priestess Maskelle, as the protagonist, though the occasional bits from the perspective of the foreign swordsman Rian are are also delightful, and... it's not that I need continuation or closure, it's just that I'd like to revisit those characters again.
The one that does really need a sequel, though, is Lilith Saintcrow's Coyote Run. It's pure fun: fast-paced, fascist-punching, shape-shifting action. I want more stories about punching fascists!

I've not read either of these books but they sound interesting.
ReplyDeleteI mean, they're very different books but they're both very enjoyable.
DeleteMartha Wells has a way of making you want more, that's for sure. And I love Lilith St. Crow! I'm going to have to find this book now.
ReplyDeleteHere is my post.
I've re-read Wheel of the Infinite several times, and it grows on me every time.
DeleteThough I am not familiar with these books, they synopsis is intriguing. Love both covers. Thanks for sharing.
