I've done a review of our series guide and made some revisions & clarifications. In particular, where we did not list some books in a series if they were not nominated, the complete series list is now shown, with those formerly excluded books flagged with ** before the title. Two page counts are shown: one for the basic series, another that includes all titles.

As in the original guide, series are divided by length into the following categories:
EPIC: 5000+ pages, 5 series
LONG: 2000-3000 pages, 7 series
MEDIUM-LONG: 1500-2000 pages, 10 series
MEDIUM: 1200-1500 pages, 9 series
MEDIUM-SHORT: 1000-1200 pages, 10 series
SHORT: 700-1000 pages, 13 series
VERY SHORT: up to 700 pages, 12 series

This topic is reserved for comments on MEDIUM series, additions, observations, etc.

Updated Old Man's War with the three shorter works.

Added the Locked Tomb series, all of which have been Hugo-nominated.

Added the Lord Valentine series - only the first book was nominated.

Added The Cinder Spires. The first book was nominated & the second has not yet passed through award season.

Moved The Cinder Spires from Medium to Medium-Long with the addition of novella Warriorborn, 146 pages.

Thanks, Allan! IIRC, the first book was because of Puppy slate, so I doubt any new works will be nominated. Just saying

I find that odd since The Fifth Season won, what the Puppies might call a "woke" choice. The 2016 Hugo field was very strong and I thought The Aeronaut's Windlass a worthy nominee. As I say in my review of the 2nd book, I think The Olympian Affair is better than 11 of the 12 Hugo nominees the last two years.

This is because of the two-stage process: Puppies 2nd year campaign with their slates (rabid and sad slates were different) and a lot of fans register to vote not to let puppies call a victory. I just checked the stats - and in nominees the difference between 5th and Lass was not large, but in voting they notably spread-out
