God. GOD. Unf. Just made an account to say that the Therkla story was just. Fantastic. It's been said before but Giant is really a masterful story-teller. Love how it's such a small slice of Therkla's life but draws on the Sangwaan and Therkla and Kubota's future in the wider Oots mythology to feel really integrated into the epic story. And is there any theme greater than our place in the world, current and future? Loved the running joke of spoiler alerts and the McGuffin gag, too.

God, what a wonderful story, and beautiful epilogue.
