Hey all. I'm currently in the process of writing an epic fantasy, and I wanted to ask you a few questions.
My book has nine POV characters. On the one hand, I feel this might be a bit too many, on the other, I really like them all and feel like they're important to the story. If you knew that a book had 9 POV characters, would it affect your likelihood of reading it? (Negatively or positively)
Also, my chapters are rather short (800-1300 words on average). How much does this matter, in your opinion?
Thanks for the help!
