| I rejoice you have shown us that they were not denied that love forever, but were granted this grace. Not many mortals have touched Tol Eressea, but it has hosted a few who needed that grace. Author Reply: This particular Elf and Woman were singled out by Tolkien to show the distance between the races. There was an added warning that such that would enter into marriage would have difficulties unknown to those who trod not that path. It seemed fitting that having remained true beyond death, they be given a blessing of unique to them alone. Thank you for the review, Larner and I hope you enjoy the rest of the tale. | |

| Beautiful! What a wonderful second chance and joining for them. Sigh...I'm so glad I found this story. You are wonderfully resolving this tragic love into something so joyous. Can't wait for more! Author Reply: Credit must be given where due. Many people were quick to condemn Aegnor for not acquiesing to the wishes of Andreth. But then we mortals think of the immediate satisfaction and care not the others may suffer endless for our temporary pleasure. I saw it quite differently. So what came of my musing was a special gift; a compassionate Eru-given opportunity to dwell in a peace they would never have known in Beleriand. I am delighted, Ellie, that you are enjoying this tale which has taken the better part of 2 years to complete. | |
