| I love this. You capture Boromir's journey so well from despair to hope and back to despair when it seems nobody cares for his people. | |

| I think, so far, this is my favorite overall. Perhaps because Boromir's story covers less time and ground then the others more detail can be revealed. I have always had a soft spot in my heart for Boromir. He was a great man and noble who, in his own zeal to provide protection for his people, was seduced by the ring. He represents the weakness in us all that otherwise mars good intentions and a true heart, but also represents the ability we all have to overcome our mistakes and return to the right and narrow path. Yore, Reminisced, Helpless and Felicity are my favorites here. Author Reply: I'm SO glad you enjoyed Boromir's! His is one of my favorites, not least of which is because I love the character, but I think for the exact reason you pointed out. This was so much easier to write because I wasn't try to span nearly as much book material, and that made it come easier. And he's such a good guy! He meant well, but that twisting Ring...grrr. If only more people could see that. Here's to you, fellow-Boromir-fan! | |

| A very nice look into Boromir's conflicted state of mind. Yet my favorite one was 9; a light-hearted moment in a desperate journey. Author Reply: I was so hesitant about that one! It's completely over the top, but it has snow, and it has Boromir, and it has Legolas, and it has Aragorn and everyone's reached the end of their tempers so...why not? Surely SOMEONE has a snowball fight on Caradhras! Many thanks for the review! | |

| You capture Boromir's spirit well with these particular prompts, Thundera. My particular favorite is "Untapped". Love the punning. LOL! Author Reply: You're the first person to mention the pun in "untapped." Hooray! Someone saw it! I played around with it in an attempt to make it a little more visible, but it's such a terrible pun that eventually I just left "well enough alone." :) | |

| Boromir's part in the Quest is truly one of 'fighting the long defeat', but you show his nobility, and allow us to peer into his heart and soul. I especially like Sleepless, Helpless, Faceless, and Felicity. Author Reply: Boromir is such a fascinating character! I love this guy! He's stuck in such an awkward position politically at home and in the Fellowship abroad, and the forces beating down on him are enough to make anyone break. That he doesn't until Amon Hen says a lot about his valiant character, in my opinion. Anyway, thank you so much for the review, and I'm so glad the nobility came through! | |

| Your work gave me more sympathy for Boromir than the books, movies, and all the previous fanfiction I read. Outstanding. Thank you. Author Reply: Thank you SO much! I love Boromir, personally, and really wanted to make him sympathetic to others. He has so much riding on his shoulders and he walks such a fine line between hope and despair. It's a wonder he didn't crack sooner. Thank you again! | |

| In this set it is both 5 and 6 that caught my attention most--the first with a laugh in recognition as to how true this must have been for Boromir, and the second with the realization of how truly lost to so much of Gondor hope must have become. Well caught, each glimpse into Boromir's character! Author Reply: The cushion is one of my favorites just because it's so...Boromir. He'll endure anything, but his thoughts have a tendency to wander about while he's enduring. As for the rest, I'm so glad you liked the focus on hope, because Boromir himself notes at the Council that they're losing and won't be able to hold on much longer. It's frightening to imagine an entire society sustaining itself on the thought that they need to make their last stand a memorable one. Many thanks yet again for your reviews! I love your insight! | |
