| Oh my! Another exquisite moment. I loved the 'my mother gave me no reproach line' - beautiful moment in Minas Tirith. Beautiful - hearth-wrenching - joyous. | |

| I like how, even though they had a small celebration, they had so much happiness. I thought that may have been what kept this soldier going, he didn't want to miss the sister's wedding; come orcs, Sauron, or the blowing up of Mt. Doom. | |

| It was a modest feast with sparse dainties and humble wine, and one unexpected guest, who wore no wedding clothes That's a really nice line. The emotions in these pieces are understated, represented in small things, and all the more strongly shown for that. | |

| Wow, this is very good writing. The two I’ve so far read each had its own tone, each showed the despair of the speaker flawlessly, each ended in a way satisfying. The first of the Rohan was brilliant with the boot theme… the mother’s voice held a sort of shock, pride of her son, disbelief. The second I liked for the bitter happiness of the girl for her sister and at the moment when she sees her man and her sister embraces her. -Kitt : ) Author Reply: Thanks for the review. It's nice you've noticed the boot theme - watch out for recurring themes in the other chapters, I promise there's quite a bit to find. | |
