| I guess one of the biggest disappointments I had with the Peter Jackson fanfic movies is all of the Grey Company is missed. I thank you for writing this wonderful insight from Halbarad's perspective! Well done! | |

| I really liked this story! I would like to learn more of this Lorabar. Have you writin any other storys with him? God bless! ~Szepilona10~ Author Reply: Hi there! Thank you for your kind comment; no, this one remains the only story I've written about Rangers at all, though I've been thinking of returning to my Tolkien roots. Perhaps Lorabar is someone I could revisit! | |

| I just love ranger stories, and your's on Halbarad's thoughts is a good one. Good to know he has a son, even though his wife died. The part where where he wonders if he will see the north again, is sad knowing that he never will. Author Reply: I'm so glad that you enjoyed this story! Until now, I'd neither read nor written any focusing on the rangers; this one was prompted by a friend, but I'm glad that she requested it. I did insert some intentional poignancy there; despite the many survivors, there would have been heavy casualties in every race. Thank you again for reading and leaving a review. | |

| I loved this.It is very moving and a nice glimpse of Halbarad and his devotion to Aragorn. Author Reply: Many thanks for your review- one of the great joys about writing Tolkien fanfiction is getting to fill in possible details about minor characters. I'm so glad that you enjoyed this story enough to leave a comment. | |

| Wow, I thoroughly enjoyed this! Halbarad's unconditional loyalty to Aragorn comes across so powerfully, even as he recognizes that Aragorn has traveled farther than, and become something transcending, any other Dunadan - I love the description that his years with the Elves "lie on him gracefully like the drape of a fine cloak." I also love Halbarad's observation: Only a star marks our heraldry; I find it a fitting symbol, as we of the North are as far-flung and scattered across the rough-hewn lands as the pebbled lights above. Beautiful. The dialogue between the two men is powerful in its efficiency - these are old friends who need few words. Very moving. Author Reply: Thank you so very much for your thoughtful review! It's such a joy to have phrases jump out so much that they are quoted back; I'm glad that you were moved by this vignette and felt that the interaction between Halbarad and Aragorn was believable and in character. Many thanks for reading and commenting. | |
