The Young Knights  by Soledad 1 Review(s)
BodkinReviewed Chapter: 9 on 12/9/2006
I think Madenn is being rather too star-struck by these golden Rohirrim. Theodred won't marry an illegitimate daughter - even if she is beautiful. Rank has its obligations as well as its privileges. (And besides ...) It would be much better for her to find another Rohir. One who doesn't have to think about state matters.

The image of the eored singing as they ride up to the bridge is very impressive. I'm not surprised that Faramir thought it was worth the belly-ache! And he is making his first acquaintance with shield-maidens! It would seem that Aud left an impression on the youngster that made him happy to welcome another of Rohan's shield-maidens some years later.



Author Reply: Oh, Madenn is quite the realist as you will see later.

As for the shieldmaidens, it would be silly if there weren't any others than Éowyn alone, now wouldn't it? If you want to meet the shieldmaidens of the East, they do have an appearance in the most recent chapter of "Emissary of the Mark". :)
