| This is a very different type of story for fanfiction. I cant imagine writing speech like you have - that must of been very difficult. Hopefully Ill get notice when a new chapter comes up. This is the first story Ive read of Glorindels return like this. Very interesting & well written. | |

| This is a very interesting story. I am glad I came across it and hope that you finish it. I like the way you are portraying Glorfindel and his relationships with the men around him. Please do continue! | |

| Yay! An update! :) Really an interesting chapter too. I had never considered how the men viewed all that was going on at this time period, being the elf-centric I am. Love how you fit Tuor and Earendil in as Glor wonders if his fate is to be so sad as well. Also what Ulmo said about help coming from the west and to look to the sea, how appropriate considering that the Numenoreans came to Gil-galad's aid when Sauron was holding Lindon under siege. The way you see Glorfindel is so interesting, I really enjoy every time you post! You're a very detailed and thoughtful writer, Lyllyn, and it shows how much you care about the story and the characters. Can't wait to see Glor get to Lindon! Levade | |

| Your Glorfindel is very impressive. I'd want him on my side. And you work in the history very well. I can see the sense in Glorfindel's reaction and that of the men. It makes sense that Lindon and Celebrimbor's people were at odds. In some ways, Celebrimbor's people were odd ducks all the way around, friends with the dwarves and all. | |

| I really liked the details that Glorfindel draws out of the men about the Wildmen's fighting style. I have written stuff like that and I know how hard it is to do well. But you do it so convincingly. I feel more prepared for coming events just reading it! And the battle was well done too. | |

| This was a detailed chapter with a carefully worked out explanation of the patterns of the men's lives. It was intriguing. Also, I have to say it's a pleasure to read such carefully crafted language. You write so well. | |

| I love the beauty with which Elves invest their possessions, even things like weapons. I suppose if you have endless time, it's worth paying such attention to beauty. "Gundor looked at the younger man with mixed pity and exasperation. Hathil was a good man, and would grow to be a better one, but had not seen the shadow take hold in another." These are very nice lines. And so is this one: "The stranger smiled again, and his face lit; joy seemed to dwell there, as if only waiting for brief clouds to pass so that it might shine forth again." | |

| I tried to review this a little while ago and my computer glitched so I don't think it took. At any rate, I was intrigued by your explanation of how Glorfindel actually, physically made the journey back to ME. I had never even wondered about it. Your humans are realist in their variation - some fearful, some welcoming. | |
