Fantastic, deeply engaging story. The world is captivating world, filled with complex characters and their intricate and layered relationships.

It is wondrous the way you make your readers care for all the characters. It's not only with Thranduil and Oropher, but with all of your OCs. I keep worrying for Celebrin, I'm always afraid that Gwaelas will die, and with all of the other characters, too. I feel their joy and their sorrow as if it is my own, and that is a thing that is rarely found in not only fan fiction these days, but also in most other writing.

"Thranduil! Is that all the farewell I merit from you!" Darn, that hurt... Still, could there be any adequate farewell under the circumstances. For anyone.

Sorry to not have reviewed sooner, very busy this week.

It's reassuring to know that Thranduil lives through the upcoming war, or the tension would be unbearable. Hopefully when he returns, he'll be ready to settle down. Not that we don't know the casualties will be severe...

One can truly sympathize with the women being left behind.

No dear Thranduil, unfortunatly Sauron will remain a thorn in your side for a *very* long time. Geez, I hate good-byes, but I must say, that one was done very well. To think that so many of them are saying good-bye forever, and they don't even know it! It' so sad! :(

Thanks. :) I was struggling with it for a while. I knew what I wanted to say, but it never seemed to crunch out in words exactly the way I liked it.

It *is* sad. I'm starting to really hate the idea of finally letting go of Oropher. :'(

just want to say that I have been following your story, and it has been marvelous and I'm very glad you are updating, even if only for a while. Thank you very much!
