Trivia[]
- Eldrid and Cornelius as well their species are nowhere mentioned in this book.
- Illustrator Jason Chan intentionally tried to give the book an aged look in the illustrations since the book is supposed to be from the Library, while simultaneously retaining the feel of both the series and graphic novels as much as possible. He personally considered the map of Trolberg and the image of the giants to be his favorite parts to draw.[2]
