The Shadow in the Past  by Itarille 3 Review(s)

Thank you for this wonderful story - it is very moving! I love your Denethor - stern and proud, but not deliberately cold and cruel, like so many other fan works portray him. I find your characterization of him much more believable - a father who raised two brave and noble sons surely had good qualities.

Author Reply: Thank you for reading and reviewing! I am glad you found it moving.
(Book) Denethor is quite a character.

Oh dear, this chapter is beautiful, almost painfully so. I never thought of Finduilais and Denethor in this manner and now I think I understand them better, and I thank you for that. And I do hope that they would find peace and togetherness in death for that is, perhaps, the gift of Men.

Author Reply: Thank you for your encouraging words.
I believe each of them would find peace and joy at the Hall of Mandos and beyond Arda, even without being together.
Meeting each other again would be an added blessing.

I am sure they are together again, and their joy must shine as brightly as the Sun.
