| Soledad, I love the rich world that you have created for your characters. And this chapter is one of the best illustrations of that world so far. Your king of the fair echoes the ancient European pagan custom of the "scapegoat" and yet works perfectly within the context of your Lossarnarch. - Steff | |

| I like the King of the Fair - although his reign will be a short one, he will provide happiness to his court. Typical of Idis to want to see the dipping of the cattle and horses - and an interesting tinge of bitterness in Boromir's reaction. He was, of course, sworn to the sword from his birth - as is Faramir - but intriguing to see that part of him envies Hurin his more creative role. Old Lady Achren seems sharp as a blade - not one to cross. And Hurin and Achren have dressed to impress, it would seem. (I like the sound of Hurin's hat.) The recognition of a suitable match seems to have been mutual. Author Reply: Personally, I don't like the cliché that somehow seems to have found its way into the fandom: that Boromir was an unhewn soldier and Faramir the mild-mannered scholar. They both did whatever they could to save Gondor, and they had little choice about the means. | |

| Rich and lovely. And Boromir is heart-breaking. | |
