When I wrote Evoguia, I was initially concerned that the story was coming out a bit long... so I simply broke the book into three manageable parts, and kept going.
But I reiterate: Book length has generally been managed by publishers who were more concerned with printing costs than what was good for the story. Editing the copy down is fine, if you think the story could benefit from being less wordy... but that's the only reason you should be doing it. If you think those words made the story a better one, leave 'em in, and don't sweat the word count.
