All listings I see list 336 as the page count and Amazon is considered a valid source for page count on Goodreads. However, if you have a physical copy in your library you are verifying from that is the best source.Please remember per the manual "The number of pages in a book is meant to include all content except for advertisements and preview chapters for other books. Included end material may include acknowledgments, afterwords, appendices, bibliographies, glossaries, indexes, notes, and suggested discussion questions."
Once you confirm I'll edit.
Hi, I have the physical book with me right now, it's the Minotaur Books edition if that helps. So the last page of the story does end on 310 and on 311 is the ad for the next book with the preview starting on page 313 and ending on 318. On 319 is a small paragraph about the author then on 321 and 321 us more advertisements about upcoming books in the series.
Done! 😁Thank you for the verification.
According to the manual, the one paragraph on page 319 could potentially fall under the Omnibus rules where you do a sum total of relevant pages.
But for now, I've made it 310. If you think it should be 311 let me know and ill adjust it. Just to be nitpicky about it lol
