Such a beautiful and emotional way to end the chapter. I also loved Faldo's entry, it was short but effective (Very glad he's alive personally). I'm also guessing that Baine will return as a major antagonist, I'll be looking forward to that.
Thank you, I wanted to show some of the culture that still existed all the way back to the creation of second-man. I also wanted to maintain the fallible caregiver. It is a cornerstone of the mythology and a personal struggle I have IRL. I wanted it to translate to the Grim. An immortal who did truly want the best for his people but constantly screwed it up do to a lack of understanding. I don't know if it translated well but it has made the Grim a hit with a lot of readers so it has worked out.
