A Longer Road  by Shireling 3 Review(s)

Oh boy! Add two more classics to the scene! A reunion of old friends seems just what Sam needs at this point. I kept meaning to write a Legolas&Gimli in the Shire, but never got around to it. So thank you for doing so!

Very nice! Post-rings stories are hard to come by, and this is a particularly good one. You seem to have the characters very on-canon. Most impressive, and a nice flowing prose style. Nice work, Helen!

Many thanks for your kind and encouraging comments. I'm really pleased to know that I have 'captured' the spirit of the characters and that they ring true. Updates may be a little slow (2 or 3 more chapters to go) as the deadline for my Uni dissertation is looming- real life does get in the way sometimes!!!

Best wishes

Wonderful picture of the recovery from mourning and the rebuilding of a fragile relationship. Poor Sam. He never meant to go adventuring at all!

Thank you for taking time to review. I really appreciate your comments.
Sam is so often overlooked as a character in his own right and not just an appendix to Frodo. He played a crucial role snd suffered for it. Frodo leaving must have broken his heart!!
