Mr. Weber said he "would" - but with so many other and more lucrative books it's highly unlikely - to do 2 more Bazhells and 5 prequels. I used to dislike that series, but the latest novella bundled with the reissue of Bazhell 1 is excellent and made me reconsider. In OAR and especially BSRA, Mr Weber showed he can do epic fantasy with the best - the comparison in Sfweekly with GRRM is not far fetched by any means- despite its sfnal trappings BSRA is epic fantasy in style and execution, just that magic is provided by an AI - and I hope he could show that mastery in any new Bazhell. Just stop rationalizing gods and magic and things will get better...
