More comprehensively, 1176 pages (first draft) to 1026 (second draft) to 932. I'm targeting September to begin the full slow reread of the entire Chronicles, and TLD better be released when I'm ready!wayfriend wrote:Well, there we are.
1026 pages down to 932, doesn't seem so "draconian" to me. And, knowing Donaldson's prolixity, it's probably indeed a good thing. But, shortest book of the series? Yeeks. How's this gonna end, with so few words to do it?

Consensus in other threads has been Mahrtiir. Troy is not a feasible choice, as he was transformed 7,000 years earlier and sacrificed himself 3,500 years earlier.

Plus, no talk of Hile Troy ever wearing "Yellow Flowers" around his neck, which would be quite common for MahrtirSavor Dam wrote:Consensus in other threads has been Mahrtiir. Troy is not a feasible choice, as he was transformed 7,000 years earlier and sacrificed himself 3,500 years earlier.
