Fears and doubts are perfectly written in this chapter. Love the idea that they want to leave to help Thranduil. Your ideas about past in Doriath are awesome.

Glad to meet Oropher's wife. Can't wait for Gil Galad.

Oh my, mellon-nin! This fanfiction is truly a work of art. It is definitely one of the best I have ever read (and I've read a lot ;)). You did very well with accommodating Tolkien's lore, and expressing how the characters feel and react about those events. This is the best Silmarillion based fic I've read! You are awesome!

Author Reply: I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I think this story is going to end up being a lifelong project, so I'm very grateful for readers who can appreciate it. :)

This was beautifully written. I thought Thranduil would never propose. Can't wait to start book two. Hope you are reading my comments.

Author Reply: Thank you for reviewing! So glad you enjoyed it. Now you've motivated me to pick up Book III where I left off. :)

Very good! I really enjoyed this, it's not often that we get a look at things from the non-Noldor POV -- and of course the remnant of Doriatg would approach things very differently...

Thanks for writing!

You do a really great job of making the long lives of elves seem normal. To think that several years (instead of weeks or months) pass between each of the little "incidents" between Thranduil and Lindoriel is so elvish. Of course they have the time.

Your descriptions of the accident in this chapter were chilling, vivid, and very well done. I even felt sorry for the kinslayer (though I felt more sorry for the horse) ;)

Wonderful story so far. I am really enjoying the entire family, especially Thranduil!
