| The Silmarillion is such a tragic story, and you captured the sadness and beauty of it perfectly. | |

| An intriguing beginning! I love Silmarillion stories, especially those that happen before the creation of the Silmarils, so I'm very happy to see your stories here. Nerdanel is such an interesting, and as she says herself, overlooked character in the history of Middle Earth. Her strength must indeed be to her both a curse and a blessing - without it, could she even have loved and lived with such a one as Fëanor and carried the seven (!!) sons, that are still the source of her joy? But now the same strenght will not allow her an easy rest, like the one Miriël chose. You leave many little interesting crumbs of stories, that I hope to read more about, as Nerdanel's story unfolds. :) Author Reply: Hello Freja, and many thanks for reading and reviewing this story as well. I have never been able to picture Nerdanel as in any way weak.'She also was firm of will' it says in Morgoth's Ring - just not quite as firm as Fëanor!But I suspect that strength of will and of body would be a mixed blessing in her case. I hope you enjoy the following chapters, where I will try to turn the 'crumbs' into things more substantial. :-) It is quite a long story, and has been re-written several times since I began it a few years ago. Again - many thanks to you. I appreciate your encouragement. | |
