| Indeed a moment of dread, to see his descendant running in fear for his life and to feel helpless to aid him! Author Reply: Yes, one of the worst situations possible, I think... | |

| What a good beginning to a story with a fascinating idea at its heart - to see only as Eärendil does, day by day. I think this is likely to become daily reading for me. Author Reply: I'm glad that it captured your attention! The next issue of "Middle-earth daily" is already in print, and will come in a few hours ;) | |

| Gosh, Mirach, what a fascinating glimpse into the mind of Earendil and his thoughts on his descendants as he views world below him. You've got me scared witless for Aragorn though. I do hope you're not going to be too horrid to him! A great start to your story and I'll certainly be back tomorrow for more. Author Reply: Ah, well... The mountains are dangerous... I can't promise anything... But tomorrow, you will see more indeed. Thank you very much for your review! | |

| Terrific start! I love your characterization of Earendil, of his frustration and his fears and how he is never sure if his life as it is now is a blessing or a curse. "But soon I learned to fear to smile." How wrenching is that line, but then comfort comes with "but by something deep within… I know him." But now Earendil's view of Aragorn's plight is wrenched away, as is ours, for another 24 hours. Oh what the imagination conjures...! It's going to be hard to wait! Author Reply: Thank you very much of the review! I'm glad that you like my picture of Eärendil, there is not much told about him and his fate - not the facts, but the feeling of it. In some way it is even similar to the fate of Húrin, and that is one of the saddest fates of Middle-earth. I enjoyed the thought to connect his fate with Aragorn's, althought across such distance. The thing that I was most thrilled about when I had the idea of this story was the fact that the reader can identify himself with Eärendil, can see only what he sees, and has to wait until the next day just like he does. So I'm glad that you appreciate it :P | |
