| Oh, excellent. Very atmospheric piece, and one of the best Finduilas fics I've seen. I found some of the phrases really delightful, like "sparks of colored cloth over pale flesh" or "beneath the sullen sunset." Beautifully crafted! Author Reply: I'm very pleased that you liked this story, Virtuella; I had wanted to write of Finduilas fighting her own good fight against the Shadow rather than being a passive victim of unspecified withering - the idea has been in my head awhile. I see her as a woman who was fiercely devoted to her husband, and not without pride in herself as well as him, though not an arrogant sort; she knew her own worth and deeply loved Denethor. Thank you for reading and reviewing! | |

| This is so sad, poor Finduilas!If only she had agreed to go to Dol Amroth.I like the way you show her here as strong,despite her ill health. Author Reply: It's my own conviction that the mother of Boromir and Faramir was not a damsel-in-distress type, at least not spiritually; more like a steel-in-velvet-glove type. And a lady born and bred in an old Numenorean house such as that of Dol Amroth might well have been quite proud, too proud to leave a beloved husband alone to face Sauron's emnity, even if that choice imperiled her life. Thanks for the review, Linda! | |
