| And no where a word of love for his lady wife. *sighs* I'd say that Denethor was a horrible man but, in truth, he reflects what we know of medieval men throughout history. Emotions were not required, love was a liability. It's telling however for Denethor to waive off the healer's remarks about sea-winds; he could not see beyond his own borders I think, unless it was convenient. More's the pity. He might have been a better man, a better steward if he could get his head out of you-know-where. :) I suppose Poor Finduilas must content herself with a missive from the battlefield and count her luck he wrote at all. This little story makes me sad in a way; knowing what we know and seeing the hardship Denethor is heaping upon himself, his wife and sons. Well done, Linda! Author Reply: Many thanks for your much appreciated review.Denethor is certainly not very likeable, but he is tragic in his self delusion. I'm pleased you liked this little story. | |

| Is that all you wished to write of me? What about all my victories?You write more of that ranger than I.Where was he when I was out leading men against the enemy? I get a short piece written of me while he gets "epics"?I am displeased that that you would write that I would ask of wine at a time like that when I had men to lead.Do you not think I am wiser than that? I am not some witless halfling.At least you didn't write me as some crazy old fool lighting himself on fire. As if I would do something such as that. Author Reply: It is good to hear from you Lord denethor that you should take the time to read this scribe's story. The prompt I wrote this for demanded that you ask for wine. I don't see you as ever over indulging in it! | |

| Oh, this was very lovely, Linda! Poor Denethor, so often does he get short shrift, so that Aragorn can shine - it's not fair. I know you love Aragorn, so I'll shut up, but as a devout Denethor-fangirl, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Author Reply: Many thanks for your much appreciated review.I'm delighted that you enjoyed this story. This Aragorn fangirl does enjoy writing about the tragic Steward sometimes! | |
