| I like the flow of this story. It's very detailed and solid, every character has it's own traits, like coats of arms, actually -- "fair and glowing", "brave and loyal", "bookworm", of cause, and so on. They are bright and somewhat ornamental, like an illumination in an old book. In case I'm clumsy again, it's a praise! Author Reply: Thanks. :)) | |

| Poor Madenn. Not just a bastard, but a used bastard. Her future does not seem promising - but fingers crossed that she finds a solution that can make her happy. Idis, of course, has an advantage on her - Theoden might not have married her mother, but her father is a king. And a king's bastard has rather more pull than the product of any other extra-marital liaison. (Much of the aristocracy can trace their origins to a similar slip.) Theodred is being quite philosophical about his fate - but then, as a man, he could probably carry on doing pretty much what he wanted to anyway. Unlike Aud. It's a bit of a blight being female in any century prior to this one, isn't it? (And there are still disadvantages in huge swathes of the world.) I like the relationship between Theodred and Boromir. Who better than the other to understand the limitations their birth inflicts on them? A real friendship of equals. | |
