Think of it this way:
The Harry Potter series is wildly popular. There are seven books that range from 77k-202k words in length.
Imagine that instead of releasing seven books, the publisher had released a single book that was 1,413,000 words long. How many people would buy that book and finish it? [/quote]

Right, so your logic is that lets say the 1st book, which was 900 pages. But that people got tired of a single chapter in the book and skipped it, so all the books after that would then make sense that they should be shorter right?
Except every Harry Potter book as the storyline continued, became longer. Just like every Wheel of Time book does, because the author has *more* to say, not less. Epic adventures are about doing more, and better, not less.
