The Wrong Path  by White Wolf 3 Review(s)
EruannaReviewed Chapter: 22 on 1/16/2004
Whee! This is so good! But first - last chapter.

I was really touched by Legolas' reflection of Aragorn's last sight of his best friend alive. It is a fairly simple idea, but one I had not thought of. (Not that that is necessarily saying anything.) ;-) I also really like that moment with the tree...it really brings his sylvan characteristics to the fore.

Well, I guess hope springs eternal...for Estel at least! This "chase" is much more dramatic than TV chases with highways, police cars, and lots of shooting, explosions, and flying cars. ;-) And unfortuantely for me, my writing has a greater impact on me when the appropriate music is playing in the background. ;-)

I reread the letter to Thanduil, and I cried again! That is one masterful piece of writing!

I really like the memory that we get to see of Legolas and Estel. It's interesting how the littlest things can make us turn against those we love. But really, if we could just see how childish we are acting, we would be ashamed. Unfortunately, some times we just cannot seem to see it. Sometimes we don't see it until it's too late. Just another one of the consequences sin, I'm afraid.

And another cliff hanger of sorts...I really kind of hate them while I'm reading, but I actually don't, because they are one of the most powerful tools in writing, and they add so much and keep you on the edge of your seat and begging for more.

Post soon!

Author Reply: Sometimes I think of little details that please me, and sometimes I read something that another author has written and think, *I wish i had thought of that*. I wanted Legolas to have a nice tree moment on his journey, especially stressing that he may never get to do that again.

I'm thrilled that you liked the letter enough to go back and reread it. Thank yo for the compliment.

This story is so dramatic in nature that I find myself inserting a few humorous moments into it, though I try to fit them into the plot and not just leave them hanging out there with no reason for being. Some are flashbacks and some are just bits of conversation. I think there was a lot of humor between the two friends, not to mention those crazy twins.

I'm one of those hypocrites, who love writing cliffhangers but hate reading them.
