@rek Ohhh hec. I could feel the weight of Hazel's life on my heart.
Also... Woundwort. Also, just, like, the whole epilogue....

But the bit that's most stuck with me the past few days is when Woundwort tells Vervain (I think...?) that since he's the most hated of the Mark leaders, if he falls, they both fall. Hella relevant, sadly.

But it's interesting that Hazel made good on his promise and gave the Efrafans a way out, both literally from their warren and metaphorically from their past. I hope that is also applicable to real life...

...and now that I think about it, its relevancy might explain why it's not more widely known here. If it were to be made part of the high school curriculum, students might start asking Questions. And we can't have that.
