Alphabet of Arda  by Linda Hoyland 4 Review(s)
Raksha The DemonReviewed Chapter: 7 on 10/1/2007
Intriguing look inside the mind of the Lady of the Golden Wood during her greatest temptation. What a great and terrible force she could have been, had she not wisely rejected the Ring's allure.

Nicely done; particularly the allusions to the flowers and the mallorns.

Author Reply: Many thanks for your much appreciated review. I'm pleased you enjoyed it.I think Galadriel was very tempted and it took all her strength to resist.

I so rejoice that she chose not to fall in that way. Well wrought.

A wonderful glimpse of the world for her taking. I do love how Tolkien presents most of his major characters with this moment of decision.

What a moment, what a terrible and compelling temptation! Galadriel surely "showed her quality" in this amazing scene.
