| The King's Commission by Larner | 5 Review(s) |

| It's hard to imagine, these days, journeys that take weeks - and the complications and the sheer tedium of creeping across the scenery. At least they got to meet a lot of interesting people on the way - even to spotting an Ent. Author Reply: Thanks for the review. Yes, we are woefully ignorant of the difficulties once known in such journeys. | |

| I printed this chapter out to read at lunch at work today! You continue to keep up my interest in Ruvemir and his experiences. I love all the careful preparations made for the journey, and the lovely leave-taking. You covered a lot of territory in this chapter. From Minas Tirith to Bree in one chapter! I was worried about the wolves, but I guess I needn't have bothered. Well, on to read Ch. 11! Author Reply: Thanks for the review. Journeys can be tough to write when nothing exciting goes on during them, so am glad I was able to sustain interest. | |

| Another great chapter! I enjoyed the detail of the packing of the trunks, and the description of the journey - you described it in such a way that I could see their route as they progressed, day by day, and approached their destination, and I really liked that. Yay, they are at Bree! I can't wait for them to meet the hobbits : ) I recced this story on my Recommendations Page for this week, and I hope that it steers more readers your way. Here is the link if you'd like to look: http://www.geocities.com/marigoldsrecommendations/ Author Reply: I am most honored! Thank you very much for the recommendation! And I'm glad the details were interesting without getting boring. | |

| I have now caught up with all the chapters. I am enjoying this story very much. You are weaving your original characters into a background very true to the books so that I could well imagine this happening after RotK has ended. I particularly enjoyed (in this chapter) Eomer's comment: “Always does the Lord Aragorn seem to bring worthy souls of unusual nature through my lands...” Thank you for writing (and continuing to write) this fascinating story. Author Reply: I am glad you are enjoying the story. I am trying to stay true to Tolkien's world and own characters. Thanks for the feedback. | |

| Ah, another chapter to brighten my morning. Thank you. One small nit. 6th paragraph, first line. Lord King Elsa? Author Reply: Enjoy, then. As for Elessar becoming Elsa--I suspect the cat assisteed in that transformation--loves to cross the keyboard at odd moments. (See, I can find a scapegoat with the best of them!) Thanks for the heads up! | |
