The Long Goodbye  by Antane 3 Review(s)
CibilkaReviewed Chapter: 1 on 1/9/2022
Greetings again! Just read this piece. :)

I love seeing Frodo and Sam's relationship from the former's perspective. In my opinion, there isn't enough in the books! Understandably, since he's always preoccupied with the Ring and it's difficult to think about anything else beyond that. For the most part, though, Frodo does acknowledge he needs Sam and how he considers him to be the 'true hero' of their journey, but he's not very emotionally expressive verbally as much as Sam is. It's also nice to see how his relationship with his gardener develops as their journey comes to a close.



Author Reply: Thanks terribly for another review! Finally getting caught up here and glad you enjoyed this one too! Good to have fanfic to explore this most beautiful of relationships further, don't you think? :)

Namarie, God bless, Antane :)

When you tell me to look upon a Star, I will have enough strength to do more than face my unseeing eyes forward, but to lift them up and marvel as what you did as I could not before.

What a beautiful line. You truly open Frodo's heart and soul for us. Even in his darkest hours, there is always Sam, and there is always hope.

Author Reply: You made it through all the angst - congratulations, my dear! When I saw your LJ reply, I was thinking it would be a quick read for you if you had to glance past it all. Thank you so much for reading and enjoying! You are so right - there is always Sam - not only the reason Frodo endured, but probably the reason you got through it all too! :) *hugs*

Namarie, God bless, Antane :)
