| I loved the line - and a little is enough - that had to have been Gondor's creed for the last many years - for they were assailed ten times over. Just a hideous time - reminds me of Arthur's last years - so much pain and heartache and death - and in the end, all lost... At least, that's what Faramir seems to think in Ithilien.... Very well written - makes me sigh for the Men of Gondor and their valor. | |

| Nice to see the inspiration for the movie moment with Frodo in the EE of FotR, the reminder not to try to carry the weight of the dead. His brother was indeed wise! And he managed to maintain Harthad and hope. Always the defender! Well written. Author Reply: I'm glad you caught that reference to carrying the weight of the dead! I am trying not to have too many movie references in my writing, but that one is too special to ignore. I thought it a very apt description of what a "warrior guardian" might be like. Thanks for your reading and your review! | |

| A desperate battle and a sword of hope; and it's Boromir, not Aragorn. I would assume that Harthad is the sword that Boromir bears on the Fellowship; but onl time will tell. A gripping chapter. Interesting story! Author Reply: Thank you for your review! Your observation that Boromir is the bearer of hope here rather than Aragorn is good. I always felt that as things got more and more difficult in Gondor, Boromir would find that he can't be the hope of his people without some help. Unfortunately, he looks in the wrong direction for that help! | |
