Question

Does my book need to have a sequel to it? I read many fantasy novels with sequels, and I barely see any books without one.

Community Answer

No, your book doesn't need a sequel. It's true many other fantasy novels have sequels, but its not required in order to be a successful story.

Creatively adapting ideas from various sources can help you develop something original. As long as your work doesn't closely mimic others, you can craft unique stories by drawing inspiration from different elements.
