I agree that the summary is too long. But the scenes in there are not all specific to Lief I don't think. They are detailing plot points. His character history wouldn't go into that much detail.

I was going chapter by chapter from the book, so maybe that had something to do with the length. I did try to make it as short and concise as possible, while still trying to put in as much detail as possible. I only put in the quotes because I couldn't figure out another way to add it in and I wasn't sure if it was worth leaving out completely. And honestly I didn't realise there was a recommended length for plot summaries and I didn't realise that you shouldn't add in any or a lot of quotes into it.

I probably got a bit carried away-- I was writing the final chapter of my fic The Hidden King at the same time so I might have overdone it or something.:/

And also there are a lot of scenes and even small details that are important to the plot in Return to Del and it is also the last book of the first series and has all the twists and reveals. It would be more complicated to fit all of that into 18-20 lines than if you were writing the Cavern of the Fear plot summary.
