Sorry that it's taken me a while to get to reviewing these chapters. Ioreth is an annoying character in the books, but you've managed to make her the funniest thing in this chapter. Amid all the angst and high drama, there's Ioreth trying to worm out of Beregond why Faramir is covered with oil, and Ioreth's wagging tongue going to spread the news of the king as fast as she can talk. *giggle*
And speaking of drama, I loved it how Beregond's blood recognizes Aragorn as king, and how he (and maybe Imrahil) can hear Aragorn mentally calling for Faramir, and recognizes his power. And I continue to be delighted by the way you are weaving together key points from the books with images and lines from the movies and your own imagination. This is really well done. |
