| Galadriel's fraught relationship with her husband's kin is very well rendered here. I like the way you show the tension between them. Your description of the halls of Menegroth is vivid and the prose is lovely. Author Reply: I'm glad the tension comes through here! I'm not entirely sure that Galadriel's relationship with her inlaws *would* have been so tense at other times; but I'm sure everyone who's ever sat on a committee would say that important meetings can get a little fraught. And it must have been a particularly fraught time. I'm also very glad the descriptions work; I did want to get across something of what must have been lost with the fall of the oldest kingdom in archaic Middle-earth. | |

| Again, denial of the inevitable will not stay it. I don't quite understand Nimloth's attitude. She should see the writing on the wall, one would think. Author Reply: We-ell, the inevitable is always more obvious with hindsight. I think perhaps it would have been less obvious to the Sindar that the Noldor (whose kingdoms and armies, after all, had fallen after Nirnaeth Arnoediad) were not merely issuing empty threats at this point. Thank you for reading! | |

| At about this point, Oropher lost interest in the discussion. Love it! And the ensuing side conversation while the debate continued. And their conclusion that of course they will come but the will still stay. I can tell I am going to enjoy Oropher's characterization here. Author Reply: Again, thank you for reading! I'm glad you liked this. ^^ | |

| Again, how much I find myself drawn into this version of Middle Earth. Knowing what is to come, just as Oropher, Celeborn, Galadriel, Erestor and Melinna do, and waiting for it with bated breath. Thank you so much for these wonderful tales. Author Reply: Thank you so much for your wonderful reviews! I do hope the rest of the story doesn't disappoint. ^^ | |
