By the way, are you alright ? I hope so! It was so long ago. Author Reply: It was a really bad year, but I'm ok. Sorry it has been so long! I really never intended that cliff hanger to last even a week. | |

This is one of the most well written, in depth, wonderfully thought out fanfic I have ever seen. I found this series several years ago on Open Scrolls and read what you have posted there multiple times. I just followed the remainder of it here and was not disappointed. I hope all is well with you and you are able to continue updating this story because I really can't wait to find out what happens next. All or your characters are so well fleshed out, and even Manadthien, as horrible as she is, has her moments where you can't do anything but pity her. And that, to me, is a sign of excellent writing. You have a wonderful gift that I hope you are able to continue sharing with us. Author Reply: Thank you so much! This review made me so happy! I'm sorry to be so long in responding! | |

What a wonderful story. I have thoroughly enjoyed it, not least because I am new to fan fiction and discovered your story only this year, and so I was able to read it without interruption to the current chapter. You have shown us Thranduil's and his family's experiences, both in their daily lives and facing brewing troubles, so well that I feel like I was there and saw it all happen - the courtship and the wedding, the growing shadow and the move North, the tedious but necessary duties of ruling a realm, the fun of merry-making in the Green, the adventures of young Legolas and his cousins, their joy and pain growing up and learning to defend themselves and their families and people....it's heart-warming and heart-breaking. I like the full and loving family you have given he King and Prince of Greenwood. It warms my heart to see that they have so much love and support in the midst of challenging times. And their love for the forest and the forest's love back for them. Now I have a little corner of Middle-earth that I feel I have travelled in and can call my own because I lived and breathed with the elves living there. Thank you so much for giving me this. And I look forward to finding out how the latest threat is dealt with. | |

What a wonderful story you have written. I have thoroughly enjoyed it and have read it again. You have shown us Thranduil’s and his family’s experiences, both in their daily lives and facing brewing troubles, so well that I feel like I was there and saw it all happen - the courtship and the wedding, the growing Shadow and the move North, building the new stronghold, the tedious but necessary duties of ruling a realm, the fun of merry-making on the Green, the festivals, the adventures of young Legolas and his cousins, their joy and pain growing up and learning to defend themselves and their families and people....it’s heartwarming and heartbreaking. I like the full and loving family you have given the King and Prince of Greenwood. It warms my heart to see that they have so much love and support in the midst of challenging times. And their love for the forest and the forest’s love back for them. Now I have a corner of Middle-earth that I feel I have travelled in and can call my own because I lived and breathed with the elves living there. Thank you so much for giving me this.

I promise you, it made my day when I saw it. | |

tap tap tap tap tap... March 1 sure was a long time ago... I've had time to go back and read all 12 installments. And all the reviews. You ARE okay, right??? o.O Last time I checked up on an author, we lost Fiondil. Please at least let us know you're okay... I can be patient, just a bit worried, all things considered. ^_^ Author Reply: You ARE okay, right??? o.O Last time I checked up on an author, we lost Fiondil. Please at least let us know you're okay.. Oh Fiondil! I do miss him! It was a very bad year for me, but I am still here. I will update soon. I do appreciate your concern (and your reading) so much! | |

Oh my gosh!!! This chapter made my heart race! What a cliffhanger! Things that struck out to me the most: 1) Lindomiel! How noble of her to protect her sons! I do hope that she can take Manadhien down. I know she is definitely not as skilled as Manadhien in terms of battle- but maybe she can at least do enough to save herself? Or trick Manadhien? After all, this is her stronghold. It would be great to see a strong female character (besides Manadhien- who is really more evil and deranged) who can wield her own and defend herself. It would be a chance for Lindomiel to prove to everyone that she isn't just a kind and nice queen and mother- that she had some bite behind all the nobility and compassion. After all, Manadhien did almost kill her husband and son. Oh please let the badass side of Lindomiel come out! Let her accomplish something that her son and nephews and husband couldn't do! 2) Nouril- What an idiot. How on earth did he think that Manadhien would ever have him in her best interest? Of course she used him- and now he is exposed. I pity him, and yet, I think that he deserves what he got. Largely because of him, things have escalated to what they are now. And his childhood playmate was killed. It will be interesting to see his motives and punishment. 3) Gandalf is here! With Elrohir and Elladan! Surely they (mostly Gandalf since he is a wizard) will be able to sense something bad has happened and come to help out? Great chapter! It is really keeping me at the edge of my seat!! Author Reply: Lindomiel: I just loved all those comments! Noruil: You are so right. An idiot. His reasoning, such as it is, will be clear in the next chapter. I'm sorry to keep you on the edge of your seat for so long! | |
