Oh, I loved The Raven and the Reindeer ! There were so many Finnish elements that delighted me. Maybe this is how people of Scottish-Irish descent feel when they see bits of Scottish and Irish myths and folklore in fantasy novels.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Thanks, Liese.
Interesting, the fact that I have no idea what a Silencer or Crucifix Soldier is probably explains why their relationship doesn't play quite right on screen.
As for your second paragraph, that scene is what opens the movie and it's amazing, so it was really a shame that the rest of the movie doesn't really live up to it.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Consuela, I read The Seventh Bride a while ago ... it was enjoyable, if creepy.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
megan, the Silencer is what she calls whatever it is that Evan is and the Crucifix soldier was just her nickname for the guy she killed. Not really that important, just her terminology in the book.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

RIP.
My horrible first thought was, "Oh, so that's why there's going to be a Broadway show."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, I said to my coworker, do you think she really only died just now?

Cool musicians, actors, and writers. Or maybe God's just picking out candidates for a colony somewhere else.
