For the Love of the Lord of the White Tree  by Legolass 3 Review(s)

"Aragorn’s loud command came so suddenly that the boy felt his body jump out of its skin, wondering if the twain would ever meet again."

I just started this chapter, but didn't want to miss commenting on the above sentence. It is hilarious and much needed relief with all the sadness around it. My heart aches for dear Legolas.

I guess you refer to Faramir. Thanks. :-)

Faramir and Aragorn! What a lovely section -- what an insight you have and let Aragorn see into what Faramir has borne all these years.

And the weight of the crown and how it must take precedence over personal needs/desires -- that must be so hard for a man who has had the freedom to roam the north the way he has.

Still a great read!

Yes, I loved exploring the character of Faramir - so gentle, loyal and wise - but how little opportunity he had to show it. As I wrote this, I imagined the face of David Wenham as he was playing that role in the movie. I didn't like what the scriptwriters made him do in the cave (so contrary to what happened in the book), but I loved the tense conversations between him and his father - his strength and patience just shone in those scenes.

You will have another glimpse of how Aragorn feels as he gets in touch - albeit briefly - with that freedom he has lost, in a later chater. Thank you for continuing to walk with me, Leaward.
