Till We Have Faces  by Antane 3 Review(s)
LarnerReviewed Chapter: 37 on 8/4/2014
To walk to such a death open-eyed was such a great feat, one whose full worth he still cannot appreciate, unfortunately. I rejoice he is not alone now, even as he was never alone then, either.

Author Reply: It was indeed. How many of us could do that? I hope he will realize his worth in the end. That's what I think will happen.

Namarie, God bless, Antane :)

It just occurred to me that Frodo was reduced to seeing only a ring of fire before him, that all else was blotted out, except for the knowledge that Sam was there by his side, or bearing him up, all the way.

I'm glad Boromir is able to offer his heartfelt support and understanding.

Author Reply: Glad to hear back from you, Lindelea! The Ring met its match in Sam as far as a powerful force in Frodo's life, even though it overcome even him in the decision to go West. Scary that the damage done was so deep that not even Sam's love could heal it. Only the Chooser of Frodo could do that. But yes, he is here bereft of all else but not Sam - yea!

Namarie, God bless, Antane :)

I knew I could not part with the Ring. I knew that even before I began.

What a realization to have, and to travel with for so many months and so many miles. Your writing brings me a new realization of this inner and outer struggle, and courageous resistance.

Author Reply: Le hannon, my dear! I knew I wanted to get into Frodo's head at this moment but did not prepare anything ahead of time, just let the story tell itself. So sad but gives you even more admiration for his endurance of that hell.

Namarie, God bless, Antane :)
