>Speaking of Gunmar’s missing eye (The Eye of Malevolence): it’s not just a tiny crystal, ready to be put into the amulet. It’s a living, breathing thing as big as a basketball. It’s used to spy on him by ARRRGH!!! but it really hurts her and works vice versa as well
>The amulet itself doesn’t have any powers, besides being able to grant it’s wearer the ability to understand the troll language, since humans aren’t able to understand it otherwise, unless they learn it (for example, by spending 45 years underground with them, because you were kidnapped to be their champion when you were 13 and didn’t have any other choice)
>Forget about the 'For the Glory of Merlin, Daylight is mine to command!’ and don’t even think about 'For the Doom of Gunmar, Eclipse is mine to command!’. Instead, get used to this loser actually naming his two swords 'Claireblade’ and 'Cat #6’
>Jim is part of a long lineage of warriors. There are several of these families, who have been fighting trolls since the beginning of time basically and their warriors are called paladins. Yet, trolls and those humans fighting alongside each other is still rare, it hadn’t even happened yet until the first defeat of Gunmar in 1969. Jim is only the second human to fight with the trolls. Also, because of his bloodline, he’s naturally skilled at fighting, even enjoys
>The armored kid Paladin is Jack (Jim's lost uncle). His armor is not nice and shiny - it's made of metal trash, basically. He is descended from the Sturgeons, who were a notable family of Paladins. He was kidnapped by Blinky and AAARRRGH!!! 45 years prior to current events, and hasn't aged past 13 due to the magic of living with trolls.
>Toby is much more insecure in the book, and very aware of how 'undesirable' both he and Jim are as people
>There is no Strickler. Instead, there is Professor Lempke, curator of the San Bernardino history museum.
>Claire is a junk-food loving, punk-y Scotswoman turns out to be part of such a family as well. She also is obsessed with theater.
>Jim starts crying on his first mission - but that’s probably because he had to slash apart a changeling in the middle of transformation (no fancy, flashing lights, the body is built from the ground up, bones, muscles, flesh and everything, right before your eyes) and it sounded and looked like a human baby
>Steve’s a changeling
>By the end of it, the entire town knows about trolls and trollhunters
It's a little edgy but more interesting than what we got. If I got something wrong or missed something then that's because it's been awhile.
