Will you do more on the Grand Illusion ?
I’m seriously thinking about it, but if I do, there won’t be an immediate sequel to Contrarian, because not much “interesting” will occur in the lives of Stefan and Avraal for the next several years. Once I know for certain, I will let readers know.
Lack of an ending of the Grand Illusion eaves me wondering why I read any of them…a bad after taste
There is an ending. It’s just not trumpeted. At the end of Contrarian Stefan is quietly recognized as the most powerful councilor of the Sixty-Six. No one will cross him, and everyone will defer to him. Power doesn’t always lie in praise or position.
