#Has so much potential for gratuitous and fully unnecessary and hilarious slapstick in the last book. Unstoppable force vs immovable object

I feel like we don't collectively appreciate enough that Harrow is TINY. Like it's common for necromancers to be malnourished, on the shorter side, unhealthily underweight, but Harrow is tiny even by all necro standards.

She struggles with the depth of the water in the pool scene. Lots of characters carry her or Nona around like it's nothing. In Pal's River bubble, maybe things worked different, but his seemed especially rigid about realistic rules imposed, and even he was able to lift her easily off the ground. Joli at first insisted that Nona couldn't be more that 14 at most. Hot Sauce is 14, yet some of the kids held up before the broadcast look "older than Hot Sauce" and "a lot older than Nona". When they need to Harrow up Nona, they get black clothes off the smallest Blood of Eden member they can find and still have to tailor those down to fit her. There is no way this woman is even 5 feet tall.

As someone who is also pretty small and has always been mistaken for much younger than I am, I love and appreciate this very much.

But also...

The main thing people seem to point to for Tall Alecto is lifting Harrow up in the NtN epilogue, but even ignoring that Harrow's body was literally falling apart 10 seconds before, I offer for consideration: Imagine if Alecto is like 155cm / 5'1", she just still needed to lift Harrow's face because Harrow's like 145cm / 4'9". Gideon all "Get in line, thou big slut" and the Big Slut barely comes up to her shoulder (yet could casually toss her through a wall).
