The reason I ask is due to a review of the last Wheel of Time novel where they stated the prologue was over 60 pages long.
That's almost as long as a novella or a very long short story (15000 words).
Wha...?
Granted, I'm sure everyone already knows my opinion that Sanderson is the worst modern writer that ever tapped on the keys, but even without that qualifying statement, this is dumb. Sometimes you just need to cut the stuff out.
So, how long of a prologue is too long for you?
