Alas, I don't write for the YA market, and my novel made 198,000 words until I cut it down to 160 000 (which seemed too much, though).

What makes you say that J. Strange is good? There are impressive reviews, but what's your opinion, Balthazar? Care to elaborate, if it's not too much offthreading...

Could SC have done the same in a shorter form, and how is it possible that a first novel of that length was accepted?
