I went to check page number thinking it was a novella for the Parable of Sower, and its around 300 to 350 pages depending on an edition. 300 pages is a normal size novel imo, I don't get why you would call it short series. Sure it might not be the size of some bigger sf or epic fantasy books but it ain't a novella either. It's a duology where both books are over 300 pages. Perfectly normal.

Oh I see. I think trilogies are most common in this genre, not 20 series books. So duology isn't that far off. But anyway the nomination requires you to nominate a book, not a series as far as I understood. |
