I'm a poor giver-of-feedback (an excuse with reason at the moment, given by internet connection woes), but I like reading about Halabor (despite the sadness). The lives of the "ordinary" folk and lesser characters have always nagged at me - I suspect it is far easier to be a Big Player in Big Events than being army fodder and Supporting Cast.
There - now I'm off to track the chapter down :)
Thank you!
