| Burden of Guilt by Linda Hoyland | 4 Review(s) |

| It would seem that Aragorn was right to doubt the ice treatment - though more because of Faramir's interpretation of it than because it would not do what it was supposed to as far as the internal damage was concerned. And that servant - dropping the information that ice had been sent to the labour-room - not a very sensible move! If it hadn't been for Faramir's condition, I'm sure Aragorn would have been there hammering on the door. Faramir is in a pretty bad way here - I hope Aragorn manages to get through to him. Author Reply: My much loved late Mother used to tell me, how she was once fetched by the local midwife,who told her to hold some ice on a woman giving birth who was bleeding badly.It worked and both mother and baby survived, so I had that in mind when writing this story.I think had it not been for Faramir's state of mind,the treatment would have worked,now only Aragorn might save him. Thank you so much for your kind review. | |

| A riveting chapter - Imrahil's presence underscores the drama, and the degree of Faramir's peril. Our Steward is indeed lucky that his King and friend is also an Elven-trained and specially gifted Healer! Author Reply: Many thanks for your review,like another of my reviewers you have given me new insights into my own story !Things look very bleak for Faramir, but with one such as Aragorn to aid him, a glimmer of hope must yet remain.I fear without the KIng,Faramir would be dead already. | |

| I liked the two different ways in which Aragorn and Faramir interpreted the ice -- to Aragorn, it's a method of healing, while Faramir perceives it as an execution in his dream. Interesting answer to the philosophical child's question "if you die in a dream, do you really die?" All this hullabaloo, and the cook can only think that she needs enough ice for a State Banquet. Somehow, I doubt that there will be a State Banquet tonight. Some things must be rescheduled. Author Reply: You have a very unique and interesting insight here,which has made me see this part of the story in a new light! I imagine the servants obsessed by mundande details(as perhaps the old regime was),they have much to learn. Thank you for your kind review, I am enjoying your insights on this story very much and appreciate you taking the time to review. | |
