This chapter is even better than the last one! The tension is mounting between Eomer and Aragorn, Gimli and Legolas are off doing their own thing (because they are COMPLETELY removed from Mannish politics), the gauntlet has been thrown (so to speak) between Gondor and Khurintu. It's all so dramatic! Whee!
Author Reply: This was the chapter where I could let things ignite between Eomer and Aragorn. Not too much at first, but I had great fun turning those two characters against each other. And it's such a natural thing to do, too, which made it all the more fun because I could keep people in the dark longer. I think two people decided that something odd was happening, but by and large, the reason behind the rift stayed a secret. That's not something I've been able to do on such a large scale either before or since, so it makes me happy. Whee indeed! |
