| An excellent manner of putting it--thirst and pestilence riding with the Enemy's troops. And love the finding of the penny and how Boromir gave it to their father. Author Reply: In the "old days," armies in the field typically lost more soldiers to disease than to wounds, and of course, disease devastated cities under siege. Thanks for your kind review! | |

| A very fascinating glimpse of the inner workings of Minas Tirith! Making it into a tour for Boromir and Faramir, and letting us see it through their eyes, makes it come alive. And it somehow seemed very appropriate that Boromir would ask about the dead bodies and Faramir about fish! The detail about the coin was so poignant; a very good arc that lifted this beyond just a vignette to a deeper, more touching story that lingers in my thoughts long after. Author Reply: I am so glad that you enjoyed this, and thanks for reviewing! Boromir is about 14 in this story, so I figured he would be both intrigued and disgusted at the thought of dead bodies in the water supply. And Faramir, as always, is interested in all living things. :) Author Reply: I am so glad that you enjoyed this, and thanks for reviewing!

| What a gorgeous prologue. I love learning of the details of Minas Tirith. I once read a story about the sewers. Fascinating. Thanks for taking the time to think of Minas Tirith's water supply and sharing it with us. One reason Denethor was so sure his city could not be taken. Author Reply: Thanks so much for the kind review! That City must have been a marvel of engineering. | |
