ICanDream Posted December 11, 2017 Posted December 11, 2017 (edited) I just used a calculator, and, assuming the figures given on the Statistical Analysis of Oathbringer are correct, the chapter clocks in at 17,839 words. That is the longest Stormlight chapter ever. Just thought I’d share this as I’m interested in word counts, so I found this amazing. For comparison the previous longest chapter, which was Lift’s interlude, was around 10,000 words. So chapter 120, The Spear That Would Not Break, is very long Edited December 11, 2017 by ICanDream I’m bad at grammar 1
chocobomog Posted December 12, 2017 Posted December 12, 2017 It isn't the first time Sanderson did this for an "end battle" in a book. In a Memory of Light, the "Last Battle" chapter is 200+ pages long (78,000 words). When the battles are really engaging, like the end of Oathbringer, I don't mind the long chapters! At this rate I'm curious what the end battles for books 5 and 10 will be like. 1
