Has anyone else noticed that Michael Stackpole’s chapter lengths are particularly short?

It doesn’t bother me. I don’t like or dislike it. I was just curious as to if anyone else noticed. I usually read a chapter or two a night and was wondering why it was taking so much longer to get through Rogue Squadron.

Yeah I’m reading chronologically from Truce at Bakura ALL the way to Crucible. I really like it as well. The writing is super tight and every chapter feels well rounded, yet concise. It’s a close call between him, Stover and Zahn for me, but all for different reasons. Zahn of course was the foundation for the EU we know and love, and his writing is very much “here’s how this was/here’s the lore/here’s this new character”. Stackpole to me is the most concise of the three and I really like that. Stover, at least to me, writes with the most enthusiasm if that makes sense. He’s very whimsical and you can tell he really really loves writing in this universe

In Rogue Squadron, an average of 9.6 pages per chapter. Compare that to Truce at Bakura, for example, which sits at 16 pages per chapter and Heir to the Empire which sits at 15 pages per chapter.

Yeah I’ve not read Force Heretic, but I’ve never heard anything good about it.

Jesus how does he even manage to make the chapters that short?
