The Steward's Coup  by Shireling 3 Review(s)
AcaceaReviewed Chapter: 7 on 7/4/2004
Hi Shireling,

I just caught up with this story and thought I'd tell you I'm enjoying it very much. It carries on nicely from Cloaks and Memories and you do tackle the post-war situation in Minas Tirith very well.

Looking forward to more!

Thank you for your comments. I'm pleased that you are enjoying it.

Look for an update next weekend (RL permitting!)

You don't make things easy for Faramir. First his disability, then his need to conceil his ability in council thus attracting the wrath of the King, and now he has caught that Summer Fever, above all else. I only hope that he will fare better than those he tended in Henneth Annûn. I also hope that he does not spread the illness around, though Aragorn, given his recent flares of temper, would well deserve it;) But I like Arwen's reaction to his outbursts. It leaves open the question as to who really rules Gondor.

I think at this point Aragorn is struggling and a little out of his depth. Arwen , with all of her long years in the presence of both Elrond and Galadriel probably has a far greater understanding of the subtleties of ruling but is wise enough to know that she must let him grow into his Kingship. That's not to say she won't nudge him in the right direction!

Ahhhh...shireling...this is just such a wonderfully satisfying tale. I just about jump up and down when I see a new chapter. Yes! Your Aragorn is not a perfect being. Again, I like that he has his flaws. You do Faramir h/c so beautifully. And still I'm dying to know what Faramir will discover. Tamir a great character as well. Please...please...don't keep us waiting too long for the next chapter.

I'm glad you like Tamir...I'm very fond of him myself.
Poor Faramir, I do put him through the wringer don't I?

Update due next week.
