Yeah I get that. The novellas get to keep introducing new things and people and guilt and they have incredible pacing. By the time the novel hits you know a lot of the world and characters and there’s less “new”, so there’s slower pacing and more in depth world building. Or maybe not in depth, but, broader? I dug the novel, but agree the pacing is very different
