Rumors about a sequel to 'Journeys to Power' have been swirling for months, and honestly, I’m torn between excitement and skepticism. The original series wrapped up so neatly that it’s hard to imagine where the story could go next. The author’s cryptic tweets hint at 'unfinished business' in the world, though—maybe exploring the fallout of the final battle or diving into side characters’ backstories. I’d love to see the rogue scholar Arin get their own arc; they stole every scene they were in. But part of me worries a sequel could dilute the impact of that perfect ending. Fingers crossed, but only if it feels necessary.
One thing’s for sure: the fandom’s hunger for more is real. Fan theories are everywhere, from Reddit deep dives to TikTok analyses. Some even speculate the sequel might shift genres, blending the original’s political intrigue with horror elements from that cursed grimoire subplot. If the author takes their time to craft something fresh instead of rushing, I’ll be first in line to preorder.
Sequel or not, 'Journeys to Power' already gave us so much to chew on. The way it blended tactical combat with quiet moments of grief set a new standard for the genre. If there’s more coming, I just hope they maintain that delicate balance. The artbook’s concept designs showed scrapped ideas like a time-skip sequel—older, wearier characters passing the torch. That could work. But honestly? I’d settle for a prequel novella about the fallen empire’s golden age. Those mosaic fragments in Chapter 8 haunted me for weeks.
I’d bet money we’ll get an announcement by next year. Their recent interviews keep circling back to 'exploring legacy'—classic sequel bait. The way 'Journeys to Power' left the door open with that post-credits scene (you know the one!) suggests they planned this all along. What fascinates me is how the worldbuilding could expand; the lore documents leaked during the Kickstarter hinted at entire continents we never saw. Imagine a sequel doubling down on the nautical themes from Book 3, with pirate factions vying for relics.
That said, I hope they don’t retcon the protagonist’s sacrifice. Some stories should stay complete. Maybe a spin-off following the antagonist’s early years instead? The fandom’s already writing ao3 fics about it.

Man, 'The Awakening of Power' was such a ride! I binged it last year and immediately went digging for more. Turns out, there's a direct sequel called 'The Reign of Shadows,' which picks up right where the first one left off—super satisfying if you loved the magic system and character arcs. But wait, there's more! A prequel novella, 'Embers of the Past,' delves into the backstory of the antagonist, and it’s weirdly sympathetic. The author also teased a third main installment in interviews, but no release date yet. Fingers crossed!
Side note: If you’re into expanded universes, the spin-off comic series 'Legacy of the Flame' explores side characters in a totally different art style. Not essential, but a fun deep dive for fans. Honestly, I’m just glad this franchise isn’t a one-hit wonder.
The 'Journeys to Power' series is this epic fantasy saga that’s been living rent-free in my head for years! From what I’ve gathered, there are currently five main books in the series, with rumors of a sixth being drafted. The first one, 'Embers of the Crown,' hooked me immediately with its political intrigue and flawed protagonist—think 'Game of Thrones' meets 'The Poppy War.' The world-building is so dense you could drown in it (in the best way), and each installment adds layers to the mythology.
What’s cool is the author also released two companion novellas that flesh out side characters, though they’re not technically part of the core count. I’ve seen fans argue whether those should be included, but for me, the magic number is five until the next big hardcover drops. The way book four ended on that cliffhanger? I need closure!
The world of 'Journey to Immortal' has been such a wild ride! Last I heard, the creators dropped hints about expanding the lore during a livestream—something about exploring the uncharted realms beyond the Heavenly Gate. Fans have been piecing together clues from the artbook and soundtrack lyrics, which reference a 'fractured timeline' and 'echoes of the Azure Phoenix.' It’s all speculative, but the way the original ending left room for Zhao Ming’s reincarnation arc feels like a setup.
Personally, I’d kill for a prequel diving into the ancient war between the Celestial Courts. The lore snippets in the game’s codex tease so much untapped drama—like the Blood Moon Sect’s origins or the lost techniques of the Void Blade. If they do greenlight a sequel, I hope they keep that blend of wuxia grit and surreal poetry that made the first game so unforgettable.
