| Oh, my gosh! This is incredible! Intense -- the speech of discipline and restraint, with the emotional resonance knifing through in the words -- impeccably researched canononic details-- intimately personal -- and beautifully written. You really set up the reader for a wallop at the end. Carefully and beautifully developed. This is the kind of writing I like. The writer sees the whole arc and takes the reader there detail by detail. This is one of my favorite modes in fiction . . . the letters format . . . it is very interesting to me to read a tale told this way. I like the first-person POV, too . . . it deeply involves the reader in the scene. I think that the reader fleshes out a lot more details mentally, imagining the scene in a more personal way. It makes us feel the emotional aspect of the story more deeply. You must LOVE this man . . . you write him so well. You've really got his voice down pat. I love Faramir too . . . Now, where do I find the rest of your work? At your Boromir website? Do you have things that are not posted at SoA? I hope you are continuing to write about your favorite Tolkien men, and perhaps develop something of your own? Deep bows and awed salutations across the virtual airways to a master writer! Sorry about all the adjectives in that sentence. . . I just had to throw them in for you. Karen | |

| I could really see Faramir writing this, he is kept very in character. And it is so...inspiring for me so it surely would be to Boromir. So *really* good job! | |
