| That was incredible. I...am speechless. Literally, speechless. I wish I could say more but I am just at a loss. Incredible! Regards, K.Elessar | |

| I had bookmaarked this to read later, only I get so busy and my list is long. I have finally started it! I like it very much so far. I think you have captured the character of the two brothers already, but particularly Boromir. I can't write much, but wanted you to know your hard work is being appreciated. | |

| *sigh* So soon! But you have such a gift for understanding Boromir, and didn't you tell one reviewer how you'd like to spend more time with him? Do you ever think about the succession of ladies who passed through his life and chamber? Imagine having the undivided attention of one who is at once so strong and so tender, so witty and so deep! I don't think he was cavalier about them, at least not in the latter half of his life. Unbelievable as this may sound, I think he was just as often the one left! Boromir is the type of man everyone wants but once they get him they find just how emotionally exhausting life with him can be. I would think he'd be worth any amount of trouble, but it's not hard to imagine a lady at her wit's end reaching a different conclusion... I'll shut up now. :) Author Reply: I agree that Boromir was most likely not cavalier in his attitude to the ladies of Gondor, he would not wish to hurt anyone's heart. I doubt that of the many who fancied him, or even the ones he was interested in, few were ever actually invited to his chambers. His first love was always Minas Tirth, and that would have remained unchanged, his duty to such a difficult mistress for any but the 'right' woman would have been impossible to ignore. Perhaps there is a story there, but at present I am not inclined to writing romance as such. I am pleased you enjoyed this tale, and thank you for taking the time to post reviews. jenolas | |

| I've often wondered how he spent his days in Rivendell. Jen, have you written other Boromir tales? Author Reply: Me too, since there was almost a two month delay before they set out for Mordor. No, aside from him being the subject of a conversation between Legolas and Faramir in my story "Under the Stars", and a brief mention in "Sing Me A Song", this is my first attempt at writing Boromir as the main character in a story. | |

| I have returned! :) I'm already dreading the moment I will have read all of the chapters. There really are no more? You're so good with him! Author Reply: Welcome back and thank you. The story indeed ends at chapter 15 and I hope you enjoy it. | |

| "Boromir was no innocent when it came to bed play, but he had a sense of decency and modesty." I think it's really important you put that in! "...he drifted into much needed slumber, and a dream of a certain son of Gondor, whose laughter still echoed in his heart and whose eyes glittered with mirth as he held his younger brother’s clothes aloft and threatened to throw the garments into the swimming hole." Perfect. You rock, Jenolas! Author Reply: Thanks. I am pleased you find my little glimpses into Boromir's character to be of some worth, just as the man himself is, as I see it. | |

| Boromir is my favourite and I am in awe of your story, it is an incredible gift for those of us who love him! Author Reply: Thank you, I hope you enjoy the rest of the story. Despite his often less than honourable and often misunderstood portrayal, Boromir is a man of great and noble character and I felt that needed to be rectified, at least in my opinion. | |

| Oh dear, it was difficult to see through the journal Boromir's fall to the Ring's voice. How hard for Faramir to see it. But I did like how you wrote the last bit with Faramir excepting and understanding that Boromir did wrong but ultimately redeemed himself. Even though the Ring was working so hard to take Boromir I liked how you did let his sanity and even humor once in a while shine through. Well done and thank you for such a look at Boromir! Author Reply: Thank you for reading and reviewing. I am glad you enjoyed my look at Boromir. | |

| I, too, had forgotten the similarity between the death of Glorfindel and that of Gandalf. Excellently written. Author Reply: Thanks, it is interesting what one can discover even after reading the books so many times! | |
