| "That Denethor would let me settle for a mere Third Marshal of the Mark, when I could be used to bind a much more powerful man closer to his interests, was about as likely as the King returning." Ah, very clever! I just wanted to read a couple of chapters of this before going to bed, but I think I just have to read another one... ;-) Author Reply: Yes, just another one... ;-) | |

| Great scene in Lothiriel's chamber - and Éowyn still has the knack to show up in exactly the Cúthalion Author Reply: Ha, ha, ha. I'd forgotten about that! Yes, Eowyn definitely has a knack for showing up at the crucial moment. And I have a very vivid picture of the scenes in my stories in my mind as I write them, so it's really nice to hear that's coming across. Lia | |

| Loved the healing scene very much. This is definitely a page turner. I'll definitely read your other stories. Author Reply: Hello Whitewave, good to hear you enjoyed the healing scene. I do try to keep the pace up and retain the tension between them. And of course the times they live in are interesting in and of themselves. Lia | |

| Ah, I love the irony of that last statement! Heh! Author Reply: Well, Lothiriel has a few surprises ahead of her! | |

| Lovely how much detail about Eomer and Lothiriel you manage to convey in the course of a moment, the surroundings of the room, a childhood toy. And of course, the magnetim is there between them - you can feel the chemistry between them. Author Reply: Hello Nilmandra, I'm pleased to hear that you can feel the attraction between them. But of course it won't be a smooth path for them - it's part of the fun for me ;-) Thanks for reviewing! Lia | |

| I enjoyed this chapter very much and loved the scene of Lothiriel tending Eomer's wound and the obvious attraction she feels for him. Thank you for a most enjoyable read. Author Reply: Hello Linda, Eomer probably thought getting that arrow wound was almost worth it ;-) As for Lothiriel, it will take her a little while longer to realize, just how much she's attracted to him.

| I really enjoyed this chapter and can't wait for the next update! I feel so sorry for Lothiriel. It must be so difficult for her to not show Eomer that she cares about him, unlike Eowyn, his sister. Thanks for writing! Author Reply: Hello Alquawende, yes, poor Lothiriel is in a difficult situation. And you know me, things will of course get worse before they get better! Lia | |

| You do such a nice job of showing us the kind of man Eomer is as well as the boy he once was, and you do it through Lothiriel's eyes with no "telling" at all. I'm so impressed. You also do a nice job of showing how both Lothiriel and Eomer hold a place in society by virtue of their birth, places that constrict their choices and lay duties on them. I think contemporary readers sometimes fail to understand that. Nice last line! Author Reply: Hello Daw, I'm flattered! I do try to avoid telling, even though showing takes longer. Also doing it through dialogue, like here, is real fun for me. As for the importance of social class and the duties coming with it, I suppose that's difficult for modern people to understand. I think that Imrahil would take Lothiriel's wishes into consideration to some extent and not marry her to somebody she dislikes completely. At the same time she's very much aware of the duty she owes her country, especially in such troubled times, when Gondor needs her allies desperately. And I had to chuckle at the last line myself!
