* [[Dissonant Serenity]]: Prince Bagration at Schongraben, despite his army being massacred, has this odd calm to him. Captain Tushin is more [[Psychopathic Manchild]] and doesn't seem to realize he should have retreated hours ago.
* [[Distant Finale]]: About eight years after the final events of the main novel.
* [[Door StopperDoorstopper]]: This is a '''big''' book. It clocks in at over 8,000 pages, the versions you'll see in the store have smaller [[Useful Notes/Fonts|fonts]] so it can cram more in per page and still be bound in a single volume.

** The audiobook version clocks in at 7 parts of 8+ hours each, for a grand total of roughly 55 hours. By comparison, you can get done with similarly noted doorstopper Moby Dick in under 24.
