| I've been a big fan of this story since I first read this over at ffn, and I'm so glad it's found another home - and another lot of admirers! Anyway, this chapter was so beautiful - and you've captured the personalities of each of the letter-writers perfectly. The discussion of the Sea-Longing was so lyrical and, well, perfect. This chapter definitely requires a tissue-warning! Author Reply: *Fan hands Flo a box of tissues* Am very sorry for making you cry. I really didn't mean it - okay I did. ;) The letters took me a long time to write. Glad you enjoyed the chapter. Isn't this a lovely site btw? It lets me directly reply to reviews. Yeah! | |

| I enjoyed seeing the meeting of the Avari leaders. It was good to finally hear why they had formed an alliance with the wood elves, and what would motivate them to keep or break that alliance. On the personal side, though, I think we get a good understanding of exactly why the Sacrifice is called the Sacrifice. It is apparently a literal term, and suddenly it seems that for Rhinure, there is no good end. And if that is true for Rhinure, I guess it is also true for Legolas. Her position is truly tough, and it seems we have to hope that these two truly fall in love for that may be what helps them personally survive. I think...I keep changing my mind depending on what angle I look! Author Reply: I hope every day that Rhinure and Legolas fall in love and every day my muse makes me write something that makes me shudder. I am working on it but sometimes my characters just decided to take matters into their own hands. I have started to dream about this fic. Must go to see a therapist. | |

| How wonderful to see an update from you, Fan! Poor Rhinure. This chapter makes clear just how difficult her position is. I am annoyed by all these people who are willing to "sacrifice" her for these lost kin. Life is already hard enough without making rules to make it harder. Author Reply: I am very annoyed with these people as well. I have retribution planned for Cothion at least. Am working on the rest. And don't worry - too much. Rhinure is not going to go down so easily. *fingers crossed* | |

| A dark-elf spin on things, huh? I like it. That was a great chapter. It gave great insight and depth into your characters and storyline. Great job! Lily | |

| Interesting look at some of the emotional complications of life for both Legolas and Arandur. And maybe for Rhinure. If you are going to be married to someone until the end of Arda (and maybe beyone), then you would hope for love, I would think. But duty and honor are powerful and worth acting on too. | |

| Ah I wish I could leave a longer review but work beckons me. A very tense filled chapter. I am glad Erutinin did not die, but it was such an irony that he was defeated the same way Cothion was defeated. Speaks to Rhinure's state of mind at the time of her own trial, and we know Istion did not perhaps do this for the purest of Avari motives. Hmm, wonder if the same can be claimed of Rhinure. Author Reply: I didn't realise that any of the Avari motives were "pure". The poor things really don't understand themselves very well. Or maybe they work on the plausible deniability principle - if they never accept anything, no matter how obvious, they can always deny it ever happened. | |

| Oh my, this was an excellent chapter... You describe the interactions of the Avari amongst themselves in such an excellent way! Both with description and with dialogue--the latter of which is decidedly the harder bit to do well, though you seem to have mastered it just fine! :-) --you give these people dimension and life. I love reading about them, and am coming more and more to care about what happens to them. I do, however, worry constantly over Legolas and what may happen to his heart in all this... I've even started having bizarre dreams about it. :-) Stories do sometimes affect me this way... I hope there will be more soon! (Don't you love readers who whine for updates, then the moment you give them one, they want more? Thanks for an excellent chapter! Author Reply: Don't worry - I dream about them too - a lot. Though mine are a little more 'plesant' since I am working a few chapters ahead - round about when Rhinure get back to Legolas. Yes - a lot more 'pleasant'. | |

| The tension and high emotion of this chapter was great. The motivations of each player show how clearly emotions do rule the Avari - and one has to wonder the price each of them pays for hiding it. You have put much thought into this Avari culture, and you are sharing it wonderfully. Author Reply: Wait for it - if you think this was bad wait until you see what I have planned. Wait you probably know - thanks for the all the help with Chap 50. | |
