I love Quest for a Maid. When I saw Braveheart, there's that scene at the beginning where he's just a kid and they find all the men hanging, and I was tugging on Dr. C's sleeve going, "I know what this is!! This happened at the end of Quest for a Maid!! I totally know what's going on!" which was cool 'cause he didn't.
I also read Shining Company this past year -- believe I posted about it a while back. For more side-by-side religion of that era, see also Nancy Farmer's Sea of Trolls trilogy and the movie The Secret of Kells.
That's interesting about Book of a Thousand Days. I liked it but didn't love it as much as I expected to. I think Princess Academy remains my favorite Shannon Hale.
oh yeaaaaaaaaaaaah! man Braveheart. I had to leave the room about the fiftieth time Robert de Brus de Elder screwed everyone over and scream into a pillow and missed about twenty minutes, but other than that, it was really good.
oh, I will go back and look for the post--I think I skipped it because I hadn't read it.
That's kind of how I feel about 1000 Days. It felt like I should love it, and yet I didn't.

Ooh! I want to see that soooo bad! Our independent theater showed it, but I was out of town that week and I'm so disappointed!
