First things first, I mucked up Hymir's name multiple times throughout the story. It's unfortunate, but too much work had been done by the time I realized it to go back and fix it. For clarity: It's Hymir ("Him-ear") not Hymnir ("Him-near") - Hymnir is not even a character in Norse Mythology that I am aware of and I don't know why I landed on pronouncing it that way for most of the story. But, besides that, this is a good one and you should love it.

Notes forthcoming
