This chapter was a lovely negative (as it were) of the last chapter - or perhaps the last chapter is an unlovely negative of this one. Two homes of two Maias, both with careful nurturing of plants and animals to create a habitat suitable for its chief inhabitant. But whereas visitors find help and succor within Rhosgobol, they find only fear and pain within Dol Goldur. I very much enjoyed this chapter and your take on Radagast!
Author Reply: Thanks. I just felt that Radagast, one of the Istari, had been so underutilized. And here was a role for him that matched his abilities. Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for all your comments. |
