Brandy was an enjoyable stand-alone novel but it’s always fun to image what an author could do with the information shared in the epilogue. There was certainly enough there for a novella or spin-off that details the adventures of their children. Maybe a good opportunity for writing some fan fiction if you have the time and imagination for it!

I seem to agree with many others here - I don't think a sequel is necessary but given the popularity of the book, it might be well received.

This book doesn’t need a sequel. It has a strong ending and goes into their future. It would be cool to make a prequel though. Brandy’s young life on The Red Witch would make an interesting story.

A sequel may just spoil the entire storyline. The book had so much on it's own and ended exactly how it did. I do not agree on a sequel.

I don't see the need for a sequel, but I think it would be cool to have a prequel detailing the life of Brandy's mother. Her life seemed incredibly interesting and full of hardship that she was able to overcome in anyway she could.

In my opinion, a sequel to this book is not necessary. Sequels have a way of reducing the quality and fame of good books. We see that in movies sometimes too.

A sequel for this book sint necessary. I do believe the ending was very well done. If the author decides to have a sequel, that would still be fine.

For me, this is the main charm of the book - its end! The reader has the opportunity to continue the story himself, it is already a matter of his imagination. In my opinion the book is perfectly finished and does not require continuation by the author.

A sequel would be nice. The book can stand on its own. It's a fantastic tale of a strong heroine. Kudos to the writer.

I don't think a sequel would be necessary, but it would be extremely valuable and appreciated. Continuing the story would be something to see and read. :D :)

Another sequel won't be bad at that angle. I think Brady and John still have more to offer.

I think the book ended well and needs no room for a sequel. The mission was to demolish the antagonists and that was achieved.

The book begins and ended well. I don't think there is a need for a sequel. It may spoil the popularity of the book.

The book was wrapped up nicely, though I wouldn't object to a sequel as I never get tired of books like this.

I wouldn't prefer a sequel as it the original story was rounded off very nicely.
However if a sequel was written in a way that wouldn't affect the original, I wouldn't mind...maybe a sequel that would delve deeper into the protagonist's past.
