| Awesome interaction Legolas with Glorfindel. I am really glad that Legolas managed to say his mind. I don't like Glorfindel in We were young once :). This Glorfindel at least noticed that Thranduil was right from the beginning. | |

| Ooooooooooooooooooo wowsa...lots to think about there. Poor Legolas, I wonder how this is all gonna turn out. "Words there would be..." and those words I look forward to. *grin* Legolas did have a point though, with the fact that Glorfindel had lived in a hidden city and then in a hidden valley. Quite curious and another thing I have never thought of before. Hm. I am shaking in anicipation for what's gonna happen next. Legolas needs a talk...>:) ~Ammie~ | |

| Laurelindorinan is such a mouthful, I have never seen another fanfiction writer use it. I praise your courage to type it. :) I can quite imagine Gimli's glee in setting up Galadriel's canopy. He probably thinks he's in paradise Snapping at Glorfindel of all Balrog-slaying-Elvenlords? Legolas must be missing home. But then sea-callings could make an Elf cranky after a while. Author Reply: My Legolas muse got snappy there for a while, so I left him alone to do it his way. ;) Of course you know there has to be a darn good reason for Legolas to be cross with anyone. I like long interesting names like that. Leave it to the Ents to remember the long frilly original. And actually, it was quite fun to type! :) | |

| Wow, three chapters in one day, I am only sorry I have to stop now. I've always liked the character of Legolas from the first time I read the books nearly twenty years ago, but as I've grown older I gained a distinct affection for Glorfindel. The mysterous golden warrior of Imladris, who is so much more than you would expect, I'm a bit protective of him as far as the way he is often treated in fanfiction. I love how you've written him, the kindness and wisdom so evident in his actions and words. I got a chill at your line about the wars and darness making the elves killers, it's something I have contemplated in my own writing. That somehow, no matter how skillfully they handle weapons, how beautifully they can make swordcraft, that the welding of weapons is a profession unfit for elven kind. The references to events in the Silmarillion and the lineage of each of the elves, dwarves or men adds a nice richness to your story. Very nice, the writing gets better and better. Author Reply: Glad you liked Glorfindel! He was a new experience for me, included mostly by reader request. You may notice that my heart lies with the Sindar, so I have a hard time being true to Noldorin characters. But I feel for him, having his part stolen by either Arwen or Legolas all the time. :) Peace would be nice. But since that doesn't often seem to be the case, I'm glad they're prepared to enforce it. I LOVE background, which will explain why I LOVE Tolkien! So much detail! | |

| I love the attention to detail in this story. Even the tents of the different groups have their appropriate colours. And the conversation betwee Glorfindel and Legolas was very interesting, both for what it shows of Legolas’ state of mind now, and for what it reveals of his past. The contrast between life in Rivendell and Mirkwood was very well portrayed. I particularly enjoyed description that Mirkwood, “has been held with a blade at her throat for the past age”. The personification of Lasgalen makes it an even more powerful image. Bravo, Coriel! Author Reply: Detail has become something of a passion, trying to scrape up enough to sound authentic! | |

| Great chapter. I loved the interaction between Glorfindel and Legolas. I assume the sea longing is making Legolas touchy. Author Reply: It is, a bit. | |

| Elvish politics! And more hints of some upset beneath the surface. This story gets more interesting with every chapter - brava, and thank you! Author Reply: Ah, but thank *you*. What would a story be without a readership! | |

| Oh, this is wonderful. I'm delighted to see a thoughtful and considered exploration of Legolas' feelings about the long fight and desperate survival of Lasgalen, which remained "Great" only through tremendous sacrifice by her people. No Ring, no help from the other Elven realms, to say nothing of Men or Dwarves, and they triumphed. Not only that, but they'll continue to survive the passing of the Rings. Interesting twist, having Glorfindel recognize the folly of too great a dependence on the Rings, and regret the Noldor choice. Lovely, lovely chapter. Hooray for Good Thranduil, and interesting idea about Legolas and Arwen. I'm eagerly anticipating more. Lamiel Author Reply: Okay, I'm back now; been sick for a day or two. Right. :) No Ring, no help, just one heck of a stubborn king who wasn't going to have it said of him that he ran and left all the north open to Whatever-It-Was down south. ;) Dale and Erebor owe a lot to him. This whole thing is manifesting itself slowly but distinctly. This could end up being the longest thing I've written. So far we're still plodding our way through one chapter of RotK! :) | |
