What happened to the sequel for Given? I was hoping to read the next one

Hello, ma'am! I just wanted to reach out and say I loved your story Given. I heard you were planning to make a sequel in the past and i was wondering if you were still planning on it. Of course I know life can be complicated and I totally understand if not. Thank you for your time!

Hi Nandi,
          
          I was looking through your work and your journey, and it’s honestly inspiring. You’ve built the kind of stories you once searched for Black protagonists thriving in lush speculative worlds and readers have clearly responded. Given pulling in over a million Wattpad reads and earning a starred ALA Booklist review isn’t luck, it’s proof of powerful worldbuilding and emotional storytelling that resonates deeply. Yenni’s determination, cultural strength, and refusal to be tamed even by a violet-black dragon shows exactly the kind of character-driven fantasy readers crave.
          
          I run a small but-mighty circle of 5–20 beta readers who love works like yours: culturally rich fantasy, fierce heroines, magic systems rooted in real tradition, and slow-burn tension woven into destiny. These aren’t polite  looks great readers they dig into emotional beats, worldbuilding clarity, pacing shifts, character motivations, chemistry buildup, and whether themes like courage, belonging, and fate truly land the way you intend. It’s the kind of early insight that helps strong fantasy become unforgettable.
          
          Each reader charges a simple $10–$20 appreciation fee nothing complicated, just enough to fuel their coffee habit while they stay up late with your chapters. You can select a few readers for focused reactions or bring in the whole squad for a full spectrum fantasy reader breakdown. What you get is reader-level clarity before publication: the exact reactions you’d want to see before a book hits Amazon or reaches the wider world.
          
          If you’re currently working on your next speculative project another world rooted in courage, identity, destiny, or breathtaking cultural magic my community can give you the one thing even award-winning authors rarely get: honest, early reactions from real fantasy readers who understand representation, worldbuilding, and emotional stakes. If you want, I can match you with readers who love dragons, chosen-mate dynamics, culturally rooted magic systems

I just started reading Given (Wattpad Books Edition) and those first two chapters have me so captivated already. I noticed that there's an older longer version of the book. Outside of the length what's the difference between the two please?
