An Unexpected Adventure  by KathyG 1 Review(s)
LindeleaReviewed Chapter: 12 on 2/28/2025
It stands to reason that even the Elves' weapons would be beautiful. Deadly, but decorative. I wonder, if the children return to their own place and time eventually, if everything will seem like a dream, or if they'll retain the knowledge they've gained and clear memories of their experiences?

I'm glad to see Arwen so competent. Apparently Liv Tyler was a bit of a klutz; she described how Arwen was supposed to do something with a sword, I think? ...and how she nearly injured herself in her awkwardness. I'm also remembering how C.S. Lewis equipped Peter with a sword and Susan with a bow. (I don't remember what he gave Lucy besides the healing potion.) The blades are named "Truth" and "Justice"? For some reason, Wonder Woman comes to mind, though I've never seen the movie and have almost no memory of the TV show.

Yes, watching skilled fighters is very much like watching a dance with choreographed moves! (Although in mock battles, of course the choreography is designed to avoid injury rather than inflict it.)

(What does Joey's monster mask look like?) Levis for the win! (in terms of sturdiness)

I wonder if Elves really do have to cut their hair, or if it simply stops growing when they will it to?

Younger with her braid, eh? Reminds me of when my best friend got carded in a bar at age 30 or so. Her braids made her look much younger!

Frodo's story sounds like quite an adventure!

Author Reply: Definitely! Elves are known for their beauty, and they have a real gift for creating it in everything they make.

Ouch! I'm glad Liv managed to escape injury.

In addition to the healing cordial, Father Christmas also gave Lucy a small dagger, to defend herself with if she needed to.

In a later chapter, it's revealed what Joey's monster mask looks like.

Good question, huh?! Unless their hair does stop growing, they definitely have to cut it at some point.

Doesn't it, though?! Frodo's story, I mean.
