| Raksha The Demon | Reviewed Chapter: Prologue on 1/27/2007 |
| A very rocky start to the marriage of Faramir and Eowyn; and now they're stuck in mutually misunderstood misery. I don't agree that Faramir would ever behave like a "beaten lapdog" around the King or anyone, but many fanfic writers have differing perceptions of the character. Poor Aragorn, getting bored at state dinners. That's one duty a head of state can't easily escape. Good thing he's probably got a Numenorean metabolism and won't plumpen much with the heavy food-load and lack of time to exercise. I imagine that Arwen found Ioreth's company refreshing, after all the beautiful, elegant elves she's known for millenia, a tough, earthy old lady might amuse her as well as teach her some things she hadn't known before. Author Reply: Many thanks for your much appreciated review. I don't think Faramir a beaten lapdog,everyone in the story is sadly misunderstanding him,poor man!He just needs to learn that Aragorn is not going to burn him alive like daddy dearest planned to ! I think Arwen becomes quite fond of Ioreth. | |

| i love this chapter it looks to me a very interesting begining for a story, i'm afraid aragorn is going to have a very dificult travel with those two, but i hope it will be worth the effort, i will love to read more of this, but i think it's a pity arwen doesn't go with them, the contrast between both couples in the travel would have been very interesting, it's an opinion anyway, very personal because i like aragorn-arwen stories, i will be waiting for the next chapter. mirax Author Reply: Thank you so much for your kind review.I hope you will continue to enjoy the story despite Arwen's absence.Being pregnant it would be too dangerous for her to travel. I have a story on fanfic.net,"Burden of Guilt" in which Arwen plays a large part as she is a character I like and see as a perfect match for Aragorn. | |

| Glad to see this on here now. Misunderstandings and miscommunication are the bane of our existence as human beings. But I still hate seeing these two denying themselves the physical expression of their love for so long! Author Reply: Thank you so much for being the first to review this story as I know you have seen it before !I would imagine ceremonial beddings to be very off putting to a nervous young couple ! It always worries me that in the book Eowyn changes her affections so swiftly and wanted to explore just how genuine her love for Faramir was in this story.I think by the time they do get together their love has become far more than just "shadow and thought" | |
