| I am just catching up on your tale here and I find it to be very interesting so far. Your descriptions of the people and the environment of the village that Aragorn has come to live in makes it come alive with real people and problems. It was a very meager existence that the Rangers and their families lived - the men on patrol a great deal of the time and the wives and children left behind to fend for themselves as well as they could. I also liked how you have developed the budding friendship between Aragorn and Halbarad - friends and becoming brothers. Aragorn does have a lot to learn here. Even though he has been well-trained by the elves in military strategy and weaponry, he still has a lot to learn about how men live and handle dangerous situations. It seems like he already has some good ideas about trained healers, educating younger children and food stocks. Everything Aragorn will need to know when he becomes king. I feel that he will still have to prove himself to some of his followers. I look forward to the rest of this tale. Author Reply: Thanks for reviewing my story! I am glad that you have been enjoying it so far, I have tried to make it as realistic as I possibly can. Well, as realistic as I think it might have been for the Dunedain knowing how the men traveled and protected the different parts of the north. I think Aragorn also has an incredible amount of book knowledge, he was very well schooled in every area by Elrond and the elves, but that is not the same as practical experience. And, of course he is very young to be in the position he is in, but he is a quick learner and there is a strength and authority in him that people respond to. Thanks again! | |
