The Unquenchable Light  by Virtuella 1 Review(s)
Leithian Reviewed Chapter: 6 on 9/16/2024
Oh God, this chapter is so beautiful. I loved the exhibition... I wished I was there.
So the Seraph has given his answer and now they are enjoying the calm before the storm. BTW is the grim messenger a Nazgul? His behaviour was certainly amusing for someone supposed to be terrifying.
Thanks for posting this chapter. And if I may venture to suggest an idea for the essays what about an essay on the conflict between the East and the West in Tolkien's works? Especially the importance of the West. The source of evil is usually East but may also be north (Angband, Utumno) but the source of good is always West. I didn't express this as well as I wished to... but I always wondered if Tolkien meant it as a reflection of the world around him.


Author Reply: Glad you liked it. The ambassador is no nazgul, just a thoroughly unpleasant man. ;-)

That would certainly be an interesting topic. I'll think about it.
