| Tom: Like so many of my reviews of authors here at Arda, I start with: Wow. I love your depth of character in Diamond, and I love this battle of wills between Pippins oldest sister and his wife. you NAILED it. I can't wait to finish the rest! I do have a question for you tho': is Diamonds attitude about Pippin (in the beginning) of your making or is it 'canon'? It's hard to remember that these stories are FAN created, and so one time you see your Diamond, and then in other stories she's the doting wife...?? Thanks for this amazing trip! Author Reply: I think it's mostly mine, though the idea that the marriage doesn't go the way it should is something I share with a few other people like Baylor. I've just always looked at her name and where she comes from and her age and knew this was a political marriage, arranged without her legal consent since she wasn't yet of age. | |

| I have no desire to meet Pearl Took in a fight of any sort. Diamond certainly has nerve enough to stand up to that one. I can believe that she did all the rumors might say and more, but I believe her unreturned love for Frodo set the stage for it all. I am relieved that she and Diamond now have an understanding of sorts. While Pippin is on his adventure, it seems Diamond is fighting a battle of her own. This is wonderful. | |
