| The sailing of the Istari is perhaps a bit early (they arrived in Middle Earth in the middle of the Third Age, at much the same time as the Hobbits entering Eriador from the valley of the Anduin), but the rest is brilliantly done. I can so appreciate his gladness to see the stone on Aragorn's breast.... Author Reply: I'm not sure which place in the story you mean, I didn't state the time when they arrived, so far I know, but maybe something could be understood in other way that I meant... There will a more detailed account about the Istari in the next chapter. | |

| I loved this story; very well done! It was good to see a glimpse of Tuor who is a favourite character of mine but one not seen often in fan fic. I'm also very glad you chose to expand this version of the Elessar over the Celebrimbor one as it seems to fit so much better. There is also, of course, a third version, the one in The War of the Jewels where there is mention of 'the green stone of Feanor given by Maidros to Fingon' which, as CT notes, can only have been the Elessar. Author Reply: I'm sorry, I forgot I didn't reply to your review yet! Thank you very much for it! This version of the origin of Elessar just seems more right to me =) I didn't know there is a third version, but I don't like the idea of the Elessar belonging originally to Feanor so much... | |

| I so enjoyed this glimpse of the Fellowship from Earendil's eyes, seeing the way he draws the connections between the present and the past both immediate and far distant. The prose slips by like the waters of the Anduin under the grey elven boats--your strength is definitely in how you use descriptive language. Just beautiful. Author Reply: Thank you very much, o master of action descriptions! =) P.S: when I guessed 4 chapters for your story, I assumed that you want to post the last one on Christmas =) I probably won't be able to read the next chapters before Christmas, or even New Year, but I'll return to them. | |
