Moriquendi – The Eryn Lasgalen Cycle  by fan81981 6 Review(s)

Ohh, the dress dosen't suit her. That's so perfectly . . . sad. Poor Legolas is trying so hard. I feel for him Rhinure frustrates me as much as she makes me feel for her. I can see how te rose would bother Legolas. I wonder what made Cothion give it to her though. Is the reason he gives all? Or did he do it partly to affect Legolas? Or would an Avari even think of that? hmmm It makes me wonder.

I can't wait to see what happens next!

Author Reply: To be honest, I made the dress unflattering for I have read too many ball room scenes in which the heroine is stunningly beautiful in any old thing she wears. And from personal experience I know that if you are not careful the loveliest dress can look horrendous on a person. *shudder* The memories.

I hope you won't have to wait for too long for an update. Next chapter is with my beta. Pray she gets time to read it so that I can post.

I just loved this chapter. As always worth the waiting! Legolas' bodyguard thoughts were great, he really worries about Rhinure and Legolas' relationship. And the avari reaction to see their Mistress in gown like that... But the best was Legolas jealous. It was so cute, I mean, he feels something very strong for her. Really nice. And Thranduil's speech was touching. Thanks for this wonderful chapter.

Author Reply: I am relieved that you liked the speech. It took for forever and a day to write that - just couldn't get the wording right. As for Herenion, well he is Herenion - I love the guy. He is so sweet, like a overbearing uncle sometimes. :)

Well that was a fine ride. I loved how once again, these two lovers simply can't get into each other's heads. The politics is great as well. Thanks for your hard work and please update soon,

Author Reply: The next chapter is with my beta. As soon as she okays it I will post. I know it had been a while for which I apologise, but work has been a nightmare. My vacation got cancelled for my boss could not let me leave. WAH!

Hello..... Am absolutely thrilled that you posted....:-) I was curious, does Rhinure have any idea what she is doing to Legolas? Or is it just unintentional.. and subconcious....? Poor Legolas, I truly feel for him... He is trying so hard to understand Rhinure...

Does Rhinure know that she is invited to Faramir's wedding? And does Rhinure know that Legolas has the sea longing?.... Very curious.... :-) Am happy you posted and hope you post soon!

Author Reply: If Rhinure doesn't have an idea now, she will soon. Am working on that particular. Won't tell you too much about it for it would spoil it for you - that is if you are reading still.

And in answer to one of your questions - no she does not know Legolas has the sea-longing. That will come soon(ish) too. Wait for it. ;)

Hello.

I've never reviewed your stories before. I want to be brutally honest so that is what I will be. When I started to read Moriquendi a long while ago I didn't like it, but then I started to read them near the very beginning of this year. I now am a faithful reader and have fallen in love with the stories. I was itching to tell you this and I'm sorry for my partial insult earlier.
I love how Leoglas had chosen the dress for Rhinure but then it didn't suit her. I am with Legolas on removing that rose, even if it does look gorgeous on her. Another thing i love about your stories are how the Avari are very honest. I think it completely suits them. Thank you very much for writing.

Bye bye.

Author Reply: Welcome to the behemoth I think of as my story. Hope you will continue reading though I haven't updated in a while. If you didn't like Moriquendi in the beginning that is your right. Especially since you are reading now. :D To be honest, I feel the beginning is a little weak. When I have the time (far far in the future the way things are going), I am going to fix. Tweak it if nothing else.

I love the tension you consistently manage to show between Legolas and Rhinure and also within Legolas. Rhinure often seems more unified, although she has her moments of confusion too. It's interesting to see them all trying to read one another.

Author Reply: Sorry this had been so long but my vacation just got cancelled because of too much work. Anyway ... so, Rhinure is more unified is she? And all the while I was thinking she was just simpler (and not in the uncomplicated sense). Legolas is just so much more interesting - bad for him, cause I make him sound a little too confused sometimes. I can hear him running away screaming today for I got bitten by a plot bunny.
