The Only Love-Gods  by Melyanna 4 Review(s)

Melyanna,

I read all of your chapters yesterday and they left me breathless! For me you captured Eomer and Lothiriel so well. I can well imagine that as the youngest daughterer of Prince Imrahil she might be the one who, for lack of a better word, is the most spoiled. Because Eomer had such a strong sister in Eowyn, he might well look for the same kind of spirit in his wife. Eomer needs a strong woman to balance his own strong personality. Their dialog and interaction in your stories are wonderful!

The detail you have described in the Rohirric culture as well as Minas Tirith is excellent. The characters are true to Tolkein as I would have imagined them to be.

I had a few questions and that was if Eomer did not trust Lothiriel before because he thought she had cheated on him, then what trust would he have in her now when he finds out she faked her death? I might imagine once he gets to Dol Amroth he will be so happy to learn she is in fact alive, he might forgive her deception yet relationships are built on trust and your writing leaves only one conclusion, she lied about her death. Now a way out of that may be the reason she did it...but between couples, deception not a way to build any relationship.

I had another query but I cannot think of it at the moment...Will come to me later.

I so look forward to your next chapter...waiting on bated breath over here. Being a great fan of Eomer, I would love to see my man very happy with his new wife and Queen. In fact, I wish I were her...LOL!

Wonderful stories....please continue. Anon.

All the Best,

Arwen

I guess this chapter was aimed at keeping the story together, but it seems
a bit short:) I think I was expecting more depth in the description of Eomerīs
feelings. He must be really devastated. Is he really capabable of travelling?
Though I wonder about these things, Iīm definitely looking forward to the next
chapter.

Oh dear, I am glad that Mithlomi was innocent and not a...you know what. Poor Eomer, but methinks he will have to dance to everyones tune now before a reconcilliation. Super chapter. Eokat.

Well, the truth comes out at last. Eomer is lucky he has Eowyn, Faramir, and Elessar to support him even when they disapprove of his behavior. That's a sign of real love, I think.
