Thorondir's death was heartrending.
This was an excellent story,which shed new light on these oft told events and felt original.I look forward to more of your stories.

I have read a few thousand fan fics (good, bad, and indifferent)and I have to tell you that you are a brilliant writer. From start to finish, you had my total attention. The interplay of relationships and feelings and the detail of the battles was very intense. You must keep writing. :)

Take Care,
Teri


Author Reply: Thanks for the wonderful feedback! I'm glad to hear it kept your attention; pacing was one of the things I spent a lot of time on in this story, so it's good to know it paid off in the end. I'm so glad you enjoyed this story.

I wasn't going to leave much of a review as I am still weeping... but seeing that this is the last chapter....

I very much liked this tale. Not only was it well written, it was gripping. The characters were well thought out and believable and the circumstances were all to plausible...

I do so hope that we might 'see' some of these folk again in your writings. I'm putting your name in for notification for when you post something again.

Many thanks for sharing this with us. *heavy sigh* Still trying to recover from such sorrow.....

Author Reply: Yes, this is not a happy story, though I'd like to think it's a hopeful one. I'm glad you liked it despite the sorrow (or perhaps because of it?).

As for the characters, they're all still running around in my head, so odds are good that they'll turn up in something I write in the future.

Thanks for all your support.
