Now I understand... I hadn't seen the reason why Pavo Gallicus wasn't mentioned, but since you said it was foreshadowing...
Anyway, I still think it's pretty good, the length doesn't really matter, because if you take a book, some chapters can be long, others short. It depends of the writer's style, and if yours is long chapters, then I'm fine with that.
Also, it gives me something to read while EB loads up...
