As always, I love your vivid description in conjunction with your extraordinary eye for detail: Eomund closed his eyes as he remembered seeing a mare nudge anxiously at her lifeless foal.I'm sure I've compared your writing to a tapestry before; there's such richness and depth to it. And what a great entrance for Grima son of Galmod! It's intriguing to not be picturing him as Brad Dourif, for a change! Author Reply: Maybe Grima was cute when he was younger? In a slightly nerdy way. I always found it disturbingly rascist that the black-haired Rohir is the traitor. I was half-hoping that someone would write an AU story where Grima does not go over to the dark side. Thanks so much for your kind comments! | |

| Saruman certainly knows how to make an entrance, doesn't he - such a drama queen! Excellent opening chapter. One wonders whether Grima was still loyal at this time, or already thinking of turning his allegiance; and whether other Rohirrim were in the habit of condemning him as a Dunlending before even knowing him. Author Reply: Heh, drama queen is a good description. I dearly wanted to write an extravagantly cheesy entrance for him but decided to spare the next writer. Thanks so much for your kind comments. I was imagining that the other Rohirrim were in fact prejudiced against him because of his shadowy parentage. It would provide motivation for his subsequent betrayal. | |
