Would finding out for the first time that a Giant was Raving have more impact on you, the reader, if SRD had waited to show you this at Kevin's Watch when HT looked? Would the payoff be greater than telling you, the reader, during the war council?

Yes, but HT's fear of what Tull had to say was worth the trade-off.

No, the different warnings (Manthrall Rue, Undead Bloodguard, Last Giant) served to show how Foul was ahead of everything.

No! Don't blaspheme the choices of SRD, heretic!

"The one thing SRD never seems to bring to his stories is plot driven suspense."

You have not read The Gap, then.

Or the Man Who books. :mrgreen:
"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”
-George Steiner
