| Okaaaaay I was going to wait until I'd read the entire story and leave a review in full, but I had my iPod on shuffle in the background as I was reading this chapter, and a song called "Punch-Out" came on...right as I was reading the bit between Hakim's father and Aragorn. So. Um. I had extremely fitting background music in a super disturbing way???!?? Anyway, had to share. This is truly wonderful and I look forward to continuing! Author Reply: Wow, that's both terrible and kind of hilarious! I'm glad you're reading this story. Hope you like where it goes! -Brennan | |

| This is the wisdom I would expect to see in Elrond's fosterling, one who will not kill save when it is truly necessary. Author Reply: Thank you. I'm glad his response rang true for you. -Brennan | |

| A very intense chapter. I love the moment between Darkheel and Hakim at the end. Author Reply: Thanks! Parts of this were tough to write, so I'm glad you liked the finished product. -Brennan | |

| Wow. Your story is quite impressive. You manage to take Hakim's viewpoint so completely one is as bewildered as him. I like it very much and will wait for more =) Author Reply: Thank you for the awesome review! I'll probably post another chapter tomorrow. -Brennan | |

| A very interesting and original idea for a story! I love the dynamically interesting characters you have created. Kali is adorable. I love how well you are portraying the hard life the people of Harad had during the time of the Dark Lord. You really captured Aragorn's greatness so very well. This entire chapter was very chilling. I did find the use of the word "Ma'am" threw me out of the story for a moment. It seemed such an odd word to use. I just can't really imagine a boy from Harad using that word.... Otherwise I loved this. And whoohoo new chapter will be up soon. Author Reply: Thank you for the wonderful review! I was a little worried that I couldn't pull off a story that relied so heavily on original characters, so I'm glad you're enjoying them. I'm particularly fond of Kali, so it's good to know she's coming across well. The next chapter will probably be up tomorrow. I hope you enjoy! -Brennan | |

| Sadly, my life is insane now. I find I cannot review every chapter, but will stop when I can and do so. You know I love your writings. I wait and hope for another tale to be offered. This one is awesome. I love the characters. The gut-wrenching hardness of their life and their ways. Excellent, as always. PS. I love Kali. Author Reply: :) Don't worry about it, just read when you can and I hope you enjoy! I'm glad you like this one so far. Thanks for taking the time to review! -Brennan | |

| Hooray for a new chapter and the promise of another soon. I love the little girl who won't leave Aragorn alone. Please do not have some horrible fate in store. I realize it is probably her son in chapter 2 who returned to Harad with news of the others. I really like her. This is a very powerful chapter. The beating is chilling, not so much for the violence, but for the terror the people of Harad lived under. I am having some fun trying to imagine how the story will end, but I am sure your version will be better. Thanks. Author Reply: Thanks for the review! I'm glad you're enjoying Kali--she's a lot of fun to write. Heh, I tried not to be *too* horible this time around. It's true that I have a *terrible* record with fictional child abuse, but yes, Tawil from chapter 2 was definitely her son. I hope you keep reading! -Brennan | |

| Another great and powerful chapter, which Had me glued to my seat. You truly show Aragorn's greatness here. I know he would rather be beaten than worship Sauron. You also capture the horror and fear behind Sauron worship brilliantly. I read here as ff.net has messed up your formatting. Two minor points "fix a meal" and "Ma'am" sound very modern American to me in what is otherwise a very Tolkienish story. I'm just loving this and eagerly await the next chapter. Author Reply: Thank you for the lovely review! Thanks also for the heads up about FFN formatting. Ugh, that was a headache. I appreciate the concrit. I'll try to do a better job at catching details like that. The next chap will probably be up tomorrow. I hope you enjoy! | |
