This is a great story!

I love the idea of the ent draught. Hope appropriate that an ent should help a wood elf to heal.

Very clever idea. I look forward to more. I haven't reviewed for a few chapters, but I have been reading and enjoying.

It was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen. It almost made up for not having seen any lights in all those bleak, endless yéni in his dungeon.

It's beautiful - and the description of the ent draught - The drink was like water, only a thousand times better than water, although he could have never imagined that something – anything! – could ever taste and smell better than water. - Quickbeam is very very good for Enadar. Even he is beginning to hope that he will recover more of what he was.

And I just love the way Quickbeam calls Enadar 'sapling'.

But no outcomes are entirely happy - the war may be over, but Galadriel and Celeborn will be parted and Lothlorien will decay - and Legolas will have to sail.

The description of the Ent-Draught is so real i could almost smell and taste it! Beautiful, musical descriptions. So lovely that an Ent will help heal your lost son of the forest. And Daw is right. You do have a very Tolkien feel to your descriptions. I feel as if I have sat in Lorien with your characters for a moment.

How fitting that an Ent should help heal a wood-elf. The descriptions of the light were beautiful, Soledad.

There was a flavour in it, akin to its scent, which he could not describe, faint but unmistakable. It was like the warmth of summer, the sweetness of wild berries, the freshness of a mountain spring and the smell of a distant wood borne from afar by a cold breeze, all rolled into one savour.

That passage has a very Tokien feel to it, like the one describing Elrond, for instance.

The idea of Enadar as a wilted sapling is wonderful.
