Amber became a giant to free the fallen angels stuck in the Wall and nurse them back to health. Being a giant is painful, as Amber aches with every step she takes and constantly has to tighten the joints between her fragile, long bones with magical ribbons. But she loves being close to the angels. Then one day, one of the angels actually talks to her.
This story is an interesting meditation on having faith and holding on to that faith. It’s presented with some great, arresting imagery. The fragile nature of the patchwork giants hits just the right tone between pity and wonder. Good stuff.
