A Festival of Lights  by Larner 7 Review(s)
AntaneReviewed Chapter: 1 on 2/9/2012
Finally, finally getting to this, sorry it's been so long! This is most interesting. I knew Elbereth made the stars but hadn't thought of the planets and that all those around her took part in that. Neat!

Namarie, God bless, Antane :)

Aww, lovely! I love this even more because I am astronomer, so all the stories that include astronomy especially attract my attention. I really like your descriptions. :)

Author Reply: I'm so glad that this birth of the stars so touched you, Ellynn. Thanks so much!

I enjoyed this very much. It's the 'creation song' of The Silmarillion that inspired me the most in that book. This is a beautiful way to celebrate the Festival of Lights.

Author Reply: I tend to collect "creation" stories, and have encouraged by students to find them as well. And I'm glad you like the focus of this series.

You are the only writer I follow whose stories occasionally give me a shiver on the back of my neck and down my arms. This one has done that too.

A beautiful story of light for the longest night.

Author Reply: Oh, I love hearing that a story I've written has struck someone viscerally! Thank you so!

This is so descriptive and beautiful Larner. Very Tolkieneske with each playing their part in the Creation.

Author Reply: I love Fiondil's Creation story, but wanted to try my own hand at it from my POV. Thanks so very much, Harrowcat!
