Delicious.

Not stone giants, storm giants, and I've heard they take up way too much screen time for such a minor part of the book. ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm on board with all giants.
ReplyDeletePft. That book has so many sequels there is no cannon any more. Heck, in the second book in the series there are four near-identical chapters told from slightly different viewpoints and then they... gah.
ReplyDeleteCome on, ASH LAW; it's post-modern meta-narrative exploring intertextualities. Get with the program.
ReplyDeleteAs a religious historian (though a non-christian), my real issue with it is that by all accounts it seems like it isn't just vaguely non-canonical, but actively and very intentionally anti-canonical. It seems like it was almost designed to insultingly twist around the story in the most anti-orthodox way possible.
ReplyDeleteTo put it in terms of what we're talking about here, this isn't just un-canonical, this is like a Superman story where Superman goes on a killing spree for no good reason, lex luthor is a bumbling idiot, and Pa Kent was a child abuser. Its like a comic written by a guy who despises comics in order to intentionally make a point about how stupid comics are, all the while claiming that this is totally true to the spirit of the legend.
