| Thank you for pointing that Thranduil did not have a ring of power with which to defend his kingdom. Galadriel had Nenya and Elrond had Vilya but Thranduil had only the force of his will and his elven archers to defend Mirkwood. So if he was a little prickly at times, who could really blame him. He had much to contend with! | |

| I find your writing insightful and lovely - thank you very much for sharing it! (: The slight sarcasm was extremely refreshing - on occasion it made me laugh out loud, even. Thank you again for sharing this! R.B. | |

| Again, bravo! I was hoping you would use that little thought of Bilbo's from 'The Hobbit' "Bilbo then "preferred on the whole to defend the Elvenking." As you astutely pointed out, why would he feel this way if he had not formed a high opinion of Thranduil? But most importantly you have reiterated something that I wrote in a story of my own. If you will allow me to indulge myself: "No hidden valley had helped to shield his realm. No divine girdle of magic had secured it. No ring of power had been his to defend it. By the blood, cunning and valor of the Elvenking and his people had they survived, barely." | |

| Im quite glad that someone has put forward the case for Thranduil not being the monster that alot of people seem to think he is. While its perfectly fine to portray characters any way you want in fanficiton, I personally dont enjoy reading stories where Thranduil is written as nasty and abusive just because he appeared unfriendly to the dwarves in the Hobbit. I think its really cool how you have gone to the actual texts to show what type of character Thranduil is and hopefully you have changed a few peoples minds about him!! :-) Author Reply: Thanks! I do hope this has done something to clear up the issue. :) | |
