I am pretty confident that had the books been kept whole, the battle scene would have been in greater detail.
Hmm. That's a very interesting question. Hopefully some day the full unedited novel will be released.
Though I think both you and Rinnhart are correct in different ways. The battle scenes would probably be longer, but how much longer would they really be? If they are the places they cut much of the pages out of, then they must not have been deemed as an important focus point for the author.
To me, the short focus on the battle scene is reminiscant of The Hobbit. More-or-less the big battle starts, Bilbo passes out, and he wakes up after it.
All I have to say is Mmm Turkish Delights. Mmmm.
