When Winter Fell  by Lindelea 190 Review(s)
LarnerReviewed Chapter: 40 on 4/9/2026
Caution is the better part of valor, after all. Now to learn what fate has been decreed for Isen! And just perhaps Isen's walking stick might well be used on Grim for his part in setting this in motion!

LOVE the self-justification that Bilbo is creating for himself.

Hmm. The farm at Whitfurrow, perhaps? I'd never imagined that Gerontius would be so controlling, not as Gandalf's friend. I hope he can track them quickly on such a cold day. I am as affronted as is Bilbo!

Aha! Has Uncle Grim been doing his best to trip Isen up in one way or another? Sounds as if Bella and Bungo are concerned for the safety of her youngest brother. Bilbo will weasel it out, I suspect. He is, after all, a clever lad.

The idea of Isengar finding himself caught in a gilded cage is frightening even to me. I, too, hope he can hold out against Grim's antagonism.

I find myself glad that Bungo is conspiring to keep Bilbo's book-borrowing secret, and that Bilbo felt he'd learned from his great-grandfather's own journal. A delightful look at Bilbo's growing maturity.

I find I am not warming to Grim, whose temper matches his dear-name. Smarmy fellow if I've ever seen one. Glad that Isen is able to support his mother first, and that she is so glad to see him full of life and in his glory.

To be on the cusp of maturity is proving an irritant and a glory for this tween. May he find steadiness. But we know in time his Took side will shine out for him, and so many will consider him Mad Baggins when he is truly at the height of his abilities.

A good, Hobbity journey, filled with good meals and pleasurable company. And Bilbo wants to start over? Heh!

Love the new walking cane. It should prove handy in many ways, even might be useful in disciplining his pushy older brother!

How clearly Bungo sees the weakness of his wife's family! Love the TOAST!

I am personally touched by this most thoughtful of gifts. To remember his old crew would make Isengar so proud and humble at that moment!

Delightful story twist. And am glad to think that Bilbo feels like he would be able to fly on the wind.

Bless all the Bagginses and the one Took in the mix!
