Tide of Destiny - Part One: Choices  by Lady Bluejay 4 Review(s)
EluthaunReviewed Chapter: 4 on 10/17/2008
Resisting the urge to leave a "review" for each chapter, I have resolved to allow myself this indulgence every several.
I am enjoying myself no end in reading Tide of Destiny.
When Lothiriel chanced to meet the Istar (that is what I am assuming) I leapt in my chair with delight and excitement; and felt by contrast a gut-wrenching despair on behalf of Bergit.In particular I love that the choice of words is never florid, and yet I still see and feel the settings and characters in great clarity. I particularly find my emotions being given a real run-around!
I'm terribly pleased to have chanced upon "Stories of Arda" as a website, and your work.

Well - I'm glad Lothiriel found a 'friend'. Who knows she's going to marry a blond from the North. (Although it'll take more than that knowledge to keep Mr Slime away from her.

And Bergit needs a friend - so it's a good thing Eomer's there. He might not be able to foresee a need to be there so far ahead he needs to check what year it is, but he'll certainly be able to help to some extent.

Author Reply: Mr Slime causes a great load of trouble - but he gets his just desserts in the end.

Eomer has had a soft spot for Bergit since the beginning - that does not change.LBJ

>>>Éomer quickly unsaddled Fireball and installed him in the other stable; he’d come and groom him properly when he had found out what was going on.

Do you mean Firefoot instead of Fireball?

I love this so far. Now I have to wonder who that Seron person is... Is he a character introduced by Tolkien or an OC?

How old is Lothiriel supposed to be in this and Eomer?

Thanks for writing!

Author Reply: Hi Alquawende,

I wondered if someone would ask me that. Fireball is the horse Eomer had before Firefoot. He inherited from his father. Dont forget the Ring-wars took place when Eomer was 28 - seven years hence from this scene.Eomer will meet Firefoot soon.

You must have missed the ages Eomer is 21- Lothy is 13.

I was hoping you might guess who Seron is. The next chapter should clinch it if you haven't. Thanks for reading and reviewing. LBJ

You have such a wonderful villain in Umar. And poor Bergit and Edwick! I really love the characters you have created. Can't wait to read more.
