Burden of Guilt  by Linda Hoyland 2 Review(s)
BodkinReviewed Chapter: 16 on 9/30/2005
At least Imrahil knows exactly how angry Aragorn is about what has happened - there is no way that he can decide that the king intended this harm. And he is in a better position than most to hammer some sense into Eomer's head.

Whilst in many ways (and for him) it's a good thing to get Lamrung out of the prison system - in other ways honest, hard-working, caring people are needed to see that the prison system works as it should. And prison reform is imminent, I should say. And the cat-o-nine-tails is probably high on the list of penalties to be banned.

It's a good thing for Faramir that men are kept away from the joys of labour - or Aragorn won't have been available for healing purposes.

Author Reply: I don't think Imrahil would think badly of Aragorn but at least he knows no harm was intended towards Faramir.

Aragorn will indeed reform the prisons,but he wants Lamrung away from his colleagues as he hopes he will learn the truth better that way.

Many thanks for your kind review.

And Aragorn arrives just after the nick of time. I fear that prison reform in Gondor will be swift and brutal. Faramir is in good hands; let's just hope it's not too late for him. Aragorn's healing skills are being pushed to the limit here. I guess that's one way to keep the husband busy while the wife is giving birth.

Author Reply: Poor Aragorn expected his only worry would be his wife and the baby !He now has to try everything he can to save Faramir but it may already be too late.
Thank you so much for your kind review.
