“A cold terror gripped the men then, a fear that burrowed deep into their guts. The land itself felt malevolent, alive with a dark force that sought to consume them.”

quote
“We men of the north are not an overly philosophical race; living in harsh, unforgiving lands does not typically afford the opportunity to recline on couches and debate the nature of the universe, as those in Kanayama are wont to do.”

| This series continues to be quite enjoyable. This isn't deep, thought-provoking literature, but I find that I can always read it late in the evening, and it is always competently written and interesting. ...more | |

“We have come from God, and inevitably the myths woven by us, though they contain error, will also reflect a splintered fragment of the true light, the eternal truth that is with God. Indeed only by myth-making, only by becoming 'sub-creator' and inventing stories, can Man aspire to the state of perfection that he knew before the Fall.
