I really liked this post very much and I'll be looking forward to reading the whole series. I have also been reading the comments of @marcybetancourt, @hlezama and @josemalavem, which introduce very interesting concerns, appreciations and discussion points.
I will add my contribution to this fascinating conversation.
The mythological theme has contributed a lot to the development of fantasy literature. Two of my favorite giants are Gargantua and Pantagruel, protagonists of François Rabelais' satirical novel originally titled The Terrible Life of the Great Gargantua (they were actually five books published between 1534 and 1552, according to Wikipedia - I love her!). These characters are described as drunk, greedy and not very moral. The book is hilarious, morbid and literally magnificent.
There is also another giant ( really, son of a giant and human) of fantastic literature that totally stole my heart: Hagrid, the kind giant of the Harry Potter saga.
It's a rich mythology and @ladyrebecca has portrayed it well in this introduction. Thank you.
And thanks to @adsactly for publishing it.

Well, who doesn't love Hagrid?
Only a being with no heart in his chest, @ladyrebecca! :D
