Mostly posting this for fun. Will update this in the future after posting An Unlikely Alliance, which I can confirm will actually be longer than the last two epics.

Please note that these are what Microsoft Word says the length for each chapter is. It is possible that it may be off by a few hundred words or so, so take this as an approximation rather than a definite number, as I bet other word processors may say differently, though I don't know since I don't have any others with word counting features like Word.
