Just make the font 18 point for the third book! 😀

Love, your prettier sister

Seems to me once a story has hit its stride, be that in a series of books, a television or movie series, it often becomes painfully obvious where and when padding is happening. Not altogether unlike the female form where compression and proper placement, rather than blatant padding, is typically more pleasing to the eye .

If I had my druthers, I'd say recompress back into three, rather than stretch to five. Or, if it takes four books to tell the tale, have the fifth book be a supplemental compendium of some sort with maps, family trees, cultural ephemera, character diaries, whatever, from your created universe. (perhaps with an action figure attached)....
