| Turin is great. Not too happy, but master of his own life. I liked him before, and still like him very much. | |

| The gift was indeed the perfect one, one truly worthy of its recipient and her future status. But it was born of an imperfect love. I am glad Haur accepted the payment given him and made all things right in redoing it. I only wish that Turin and Firiel had been able to know full appreciation of one another through its bestowal. Author Reply: Túrin isn't very lovable, I'm afraid. He'll certainly never marry, but he has a heart nonetheless. Actually I think it's better if people who are supremely talented in one direction don't marry: they tend to be ruthless in their dedication and that is very hard on the other people. | |

| This is a fascinating, and sad, look at Turin. He seems to occasionally regret his lack of feeling, and want to be able to be loved by his magical sister, and he has enough of an appreciation for her that he wants to give her something fine, but he's sadly hollow inside. At least he seems to be managing to live a functional life... Author Reply: He is rather hollow inside, but it doesn't usually bother him. While I wouldn't say Túrin was autistic - some people have identified him as having a form of Aspergers syndrome - he certainly doesn't feel or express feelings in the usual way. But that doesn't mean he has no feelings at all. | |

| Turin is breaking my heart here. Author Reply: Yes, he's a sad case in a way, but unlike similar people in our own world, he hasn't been labelled or considered 'disabled' - they let him find a place where his talents could do most good and his personality least harm, including to himself. I honestly think that's the best way. | |
