B2MeM 2012: A Spirit in Shadows  by Mirach 5 Review(s)

Interesting and amusing account of Sauron's possible activities in the Halls of Mandos. Would like to read about how he and Olorin get on when (if) they ever meet.

I read this in one go. Thus only one review of the complete work.

I liked this very much. Both stories (Sauron's and Aragorn's) were well-written. Plots and such meshed nicely.

I loved that you started the tale with Sauron and ended it with him.

Nicely done!

PS - Soothed my heart that the Orcs were returning to their former state. Bravo. Great idea!

This has been a fascinating story and you used the prompts in a very imaginative way.I would have liked more at the end about Aragorn and Arwen. The story would benefit from a native English editor as you occasionally mix up our complicated tenses, which even we struggle with sometimes.
I liked your characterisation of Sauron and the way in which he redeems himself.

Now, this IS satisfying! He had found his true calling now, and is actually undoing what he and his master did to them! Excellent! No wonder Mandos wants him to stay! Again, excellent!

Enjoyed the series. There are a few where it's obvious English is your second language, but you did far, far better than I'd expect to do in Spanish, which is the one language I know well enough to read in, but I fear not to write anything of depth in.

Wonderful conclusion to the stories of both Aragorn and Sauron in this exchange.
