I’ve been recommending 'Steeplejack' to friends for ages, and yes, there’s a sequel! 'Firebrand' takes Anglet Sutonga’s story further, diving into the fallout of the first book’s revelations. The political machinations get wilder, and Ang’s personal struggles hit harder. Hartley’s writing is so immersive—you can practically smell the smoke and hear the clatter of the city. What I adore is how the sequel balances action with quieter moments of introspection, making Ang’s journey feel incredibly real. It’s a satisfying continuation that leaves you craving more.
I was totally hooked after reading 'Steeplejack' by A.J. Hartley—such a unique blend of mystery and steampunk vibes! From what I’ve gathered, there’s a sequel called 'Firebrand,' which continues the adventures of Anglet Sutonga in the gritty, industrial city of Bar-Selehm. It digs deeper into political intrigue and social tensions, with Ang uncovering more secrets about her world. I love how Hartley expands the lore while keeping that tight, character-driven focus.
Honestly, 'Firebrand' feels even more intense than the first book, with higher stakes and darker twists. If you enjoyed the atmospheric setting and Ang’s resourcefulness in 'Steeplejack,' the sequel won’t disappoint. It’s one of those rare follow-ups that builds on everything great about the original while carving its own path.
Yep, 'Firebrand' is the follow-up to 'Steeplejack,' and it’s fantastic. Anglet’s adventures escalate with even more danger and intrigue, and the stakes feel personal. The way Hartley weaves together mystery and social commentary is just chef’s kiss. If you liked the first book, you’ll love seeing Ang confront bigger threats while staying true to her roots.
Oh, you’re in luck! 'Steeplejack' got a sequel titled 'Firebrand,' and it’s just as gripping. Anglet’s back, navigating the chaotic streets of Bar-Selehm, but this time the conspiracy goes way deeper. What stood out to me was how the book tackles themes like colonialism and class struggle without losing its fast-paced, detective-story feel. The world-building gets richer, and Ang’s growth feels so organic—she’s sharper, more vulnerable, and way more determined. If you’re into morally complex characters and layered plots, this duology is a must-read.

Man, I've been obsessed with 'Tower of Jack' ever since I stumbled upon it last year. The blend of dark fantasy and that relentless climb-or-die vibe hooked me instantly. As far as I know, there hasn't been an official sequel announced, but the creator's been dropping cryptic hints on social media about 'expanding the universe.' Could be a spin-off, a prequel, or just trolling fans—who knows? The fandom's split between wanting closure for Jack's story and craving fresh blood in new arcs. Personally, I'd kill for a side story about the Tower's architects or those shadowy figures watching from the upper floors.
What's wild is how the series scratches that same itch as 'Made in Abyss' or 'Blame!'—that mix of existential dread and architectural wonder. If a sequel does drop, I hope it keeps the brutal pacing but digs deeper into the lore. The way food scarcity and vertigo were weaponized in the first installment? Genius. Maybe next time we'll get a protagonist descending instead of climbing, unraveling the Tower's secrets from below.
