OK, a quick spell-check, diff-comparison, and perusal of the

more than I'd like or hoped, but far, far less than I've ever
turned up before... ;-)
BOOK 1:
(er) 154: the last thing you feel are the black shafts of their
arrows -> the last things you feel are the black shafts of their
arrows
Debatable. I'd even prefer "the last thing you feel is the black
shafts...", but I think we should go with your suggestion.
My German ears prefer the original over Jon's version. Simon's version,
"the last things you feel are ...," sounds awkward to me. Of course,
that might be because in German one would say something like "Das Letzte
was Du fühlst sind ...", i.e. basically the same as in the original
except that in German we leave out "thing". Anyway, you are the native
speakers. So, it's your call.
