Land of Light and Shadows  by Thundera Tiger 1 Review(s)
purrlinReviewed Chapter: 26 on 2/15/2004
Ok Im going to eb a bit eomerish I think here.

Am I obtuse or is there a reason that they didn't turn Legolas's horse loose to find him?

Maybe I should just be quiet and track the political situation somemore. :)

Personally I wish you didn't add the lists of who's who at the end of the chapters. If the story is truely captivating then placed in one spot is surely enough. Besides I'm starting to feel that I'm being robbed of more story that this space fits (even though I know this is not true) :)

This is certainly an interesting and captivating story I have paced myself and refused to read it for the longest time so that I might read it in its entirity. But alas I have failed and couldn't wait any longer. I'm truely hoping that I get closer to the end at the same time as you do.

I love the desert politics! Heres hoping that Eomer and Aragorn learn from it when they return to their own realms.

Mmmm no female characters. Obviously Harad keep their women hidden. That doesn't mean subservient or quiet though.

Thank you again for a good read.

Author Reply: Be as eomerish as you want. Personally, I think every story should have someone from Rohan in it. They're fiesty. Gotta love the Rohirrim.

Anyway, as talented and skilled as elven horses are, they're not bloodhounds. At least, not to my mind. With nothing to go on, Faensul would probably just run blindly around the desert until he collapsed from heat exhaustion and died. Which is not what I want him to do. And it's not what Aragorn and Eomer want him to do, so they haven't turned him loose to find Legolas. And in some dim way, Faensul also understands that he can't find Legolas on his own. He needs some kind of sign.

As for those lists...I understand your concerns. I really do. Unfortunately, I'm something of a slow updater and to make it easier for readers, the character lists tend to show up with every new chapter simply because the last chapter showed up so long ago. And I've had too many requests for character lists to ignore them.

Anyway, thank you very much for your review and your questions. I love it when people raise issues because it means they care enough to point out flaws. Thank you! And continue to pace yourself because while the end of this story is in sight, it's not close enough to grab just yet. Thanks again!
