Labadal and Túrin  by Dreamflower 5 Review(s)
MoonhavenReviewed Chapter: 5 on 2/24/2022
This almost brought me to tears. The entire 'The Children of Hurin' tale is heartbreaking, but Turin's childhood always moves me the most. Beautifully written!

A foreboding comes over me: his child's heart will break, and of the shards will grow a heart of stone and pride. He is his mother's son.
I love how this is phrased and i really like Labadal's wise thoughts about how Turin's heart will ultimately become.

Haunting!

The fate of Hurin's family is one of the saddest among all tales from first age, in my opinion, and Morgoth's curse against them is among his most evil deeds. :(
Sad, lovely drabble series. ;)

Author Reply: I agree. It truly was a curse in every sense.

I am glad you enjoyed it. It was my very first time to venture into the First Age, so I was a bit trepidatious.

And he foresees truly. No wonder he grieves for Turin, as young as he is.

Author Reply: Indeed. The poor child had so much potential for greatness beyond his deeds as a warrior, but all of that was squashed and ruined before it ever really had a chance to bloom.
