| Queen Galadriel | Reviewed Chapter: Prologue on 11/15/2005 |
| How very interesting! But I must say, when I read the words "little one," I had to laugh. I can't imagine a baby dwarf! :-) But the poetry is really good, and it reminds me of some lullaby...ah! It reminds me of one that I think is called "The Miner's Lullaby." God bless, Galadriel Author Reply: Thanks for reading, Galadriel! | |

| This is beautiful. "You'll have a mithril toy..." so perfect, as a lullabye and as a glimpse of the heart of Dwarven culture - surely one of the deepest and most closely guarded cultures of all Middle-earth. This is so evocative, I can just see the mother, lovingly tending her child in a warm cavern deep beneath the earth. Wonderfully done. Author Reply: Thanks, Lamiel, for your kind words. And the "mithril toy" line was what inspired the rest of the poem in the first place. Glad to know you liked it. Werecat | |
| Nilmandra | Reviewed Chapter: Prologue on 10/2/2004 |
| Very sweet and very dwarvish - I like the references to what the dwarves valued, which included their children, and to Aule. Author Reply: Thank you for reading, Nilmandra. Actually this came from a lullaby I sing to my cats - hoping they will finally doze off so I too can sleep. | |

| Don't ask why, but reading this made me want to cry all of a sudden. It is a great piece of literature... and certainly makes up for the lack of writing for the other People of Tolkien's work besides Elves, Hobbits, and Men. I know you didn't ask for a rating, but in case you would like one, I would rate it a 10/10. Author Reply: Thank you for your kind words. I too find that some cultures are seriously underwritten. And I'm glad that this touched you. Little things like this make all the difference to an author. Thanks again, Werecat | |
