Score

I love Territory, but Emma Bull is already writing the sequel, Claim, so it is part of a series.

Graceling is also the first book in a series, with Fire and Bitterblue the next two books in the series.

LOVE Half Magic, but it is part of a series. The other books are Knight's Castle, Magic By The Lake, The Time Garden.

graceling has one companion, and another coming out soon.

Fire and Bitterblue right?

i dont see why its up here if there are 2 books after it even though it's a great book.

There are a bunch of books on this list that are parts of a series. The Giver, for one...

Technically, the other books were companions to The Giver.

Should Anansi Boys be considered a sequel to American Gods? The books are just tangentially related and are much different in scope, but they do share at least one character.

On the other hand, the character that's shared is an African god, so one could argue that both novels are merely making use of the same religious figure.

I don't think sharing one character counts as a sequel as long as the plot is different.
