| Great story. I had never really thought of it this way before- that Denethor is as much a victim as anyone else. | |

| I really loved this. Gandalf must have one of the most interesting stories of all, and yet he is so rarely heard. And the hobbit intrusion brings balance. | |

| Wow, that was great the way you wrote from Gandalf's POV! I had never thought about hime feeling guilty taht Denethor parished, but I guess being the noble wizard he is it would be natural. It was very good, thank you! Author Reply: I'm very glad you enjoyed it. Thank you so much for reading. | |

| Denethor watched his sons die over and over again until he found it better to burn than live a moment longer. The man could not live with everything he ever knew lost, with everyone he ever loved destroyed. Well-written. You used the style that PoTD has, and it works brilliantly. I can never imagine an eloquently angsting Gandalf. The short, crisp almost painfully precise prose (Alliteration?;}) is the real winner here. And as is befitting, the end is without hope, but not without redemption. Narya at work, perhaps? I really did like it, despite the hobbit intrusion. :) Author Reply: I love your alliteration. Sorry 'bout the hobbits. They just show up. ; ) I'm glad you liked it. Thanks so much for commenting and offering your insight. I appreciate it. | |

| Wonderful. What a beautifully written piece! "Somewhere under the eastern pall, the fate of the world swings upon on a golden chain." You truly bring us into the heart and mind of Gandalf; I've never seen it done better. Author Reply: Why, thank you so much! You are kind to say so and I appreciate the time you took to read. | |
