Wow... I thought I was reviewing chapter 1 and looked... i'm in ch. 2! I'm completely hooked, Soledad. This is amazing. wow. I wish I could properly phrase how intranced I am with this story.... I should be sleeping now, but I've gotta read at least one more chapter! This is wonderful!

Oi! What a heartrending discovery for the king to make! The character interactions are nicely done, and I love how you weave the histories and relationship into the storyline, instead of giving it to us in a block of narrative. :-)

This is so sad! But I am interested in what comes next. Good job in your descriptions.

Soledad!

I really like this! I didn't leave a review on the first chapter because I was too anxious to move on to the second! You capture the fear and horror of the Elves without being graphic.

I love the tragic history behind why Haldir is so haughty and proud. Wonderfully imagined.

In the first chapter the words work well to create the pain of loss and the sense of near oblivion that poor Enadar has had to endure. I love that his father's voice is his lifeline back (hopefully) toward the light. Wonderful. Awaiting an update, hopefully soon.

After all that, the beginnings of a happy ending! When the twist ending is happy, then you know your characters have gone through a rough time. I very much enjoyed this story, especially the bit at the end where Enadar, who had no idea who Alagos was, still snuggled up and grabbed a braid -- all those primitive memories-that-can't-be-remembered coming back and making him an infant once more. They'll both have a lot of healing to do, but they'll be all right.

Author Reply: Thank you. Although it's actually Thranduil, not Alagos, whom he grabs. I must take a look at that sentence, it seems it wasn't clear enough. :)
