3. More Than 40 Chapters

For this prompt, the book must contain more than forty chapters. The chapters can be any length or style, as long as there are at least forty-one of them. It is up to you whether or not you decide to include epilogues or afterwords into this count.

Sorry, that one has 33 chapters.

A good way to check things like that with a book you don't have yet is to look for the kindle copy on Amazon and access the sample. It will usually give access to the Table of Contents.
