90,000 words. That's a fairly large book

I don't think you read as much epic fantasy as I do.

I've read Worm. Does that count?

However, getting your point across with fewer words is also a skill. 90,000 is enough to describe quite a lot of things happening.

EY for better or worse is generally quite verbose, although out of the whole of HPMOR the only part I felt was superfluous was Hermine vs the bullies.

It does, but my comment was intended as a joke.
