I like the psychology of Ithilien re its gonna come out sooner or later, be ready. I love the maids. They are sweet. I like how chivalrous Amroth has suddenly become.

Lovely chapter! I like how she is coping with being a member of a royal household. I'm also excited to read about their upcoming wedding.

Author Reply: She was bound to find it strange coming from the mountains. Wedding coming soon. Thanks for reviewing. LBJ

Great chapter! I'm glad there are people around Amrothros to tell him that he needs to give Devoran some time - both to grieve and to recover from her ordeal. Let alone just adjusting to such a lifestyle. It would be hard for anyone to just suddenly have all of your needs taken care of like that, and I can definitely see wanting to pay for her own wedding dress. Nicely done and I'm looking forward to the next installment.

I'm really enjoying this story, Devoran is a very well written character and after the ordeal she's been through it's nice to see that she has a good shot at being happy. Your writing of the House of Dol Amroth is as always excellent, the family and political relationships are very enjoyable, Amrothos in particular is a good like-able rogue.

However I must point out that the House of Dol Amroth is not 'royal' at all. The term royal would be exclusively reserved for Princes of the Royal blood namely children of the King, which Imrahil's line is not related to (although perhaps very distantly through marriage). They are a noble family which has been given a Princely title as a reward for services to Gondor, much like Faramir. They cannot be considered to be royal princes.

Author Reply: Glad you like my characters - I am getting rather fond of them. You are right about the -royal-, of course. It must be because there are so many princes dotted around Europe all related to some king or other. But I have changed it. Thanks for reviewing. LBJ
