Winds of Change  by Lady Bluejay 50 Review(s)

Well, he had to find out eventually.... but I do think it funny that everyone else figured out his interest so... publically. I imagine the riding outing will be interesting. Eowyn wants to show off Faramir, but now Eomer is going to be thoroughly distracted by her friend ;). Picking up on girls under their brothers noses can hardly be comfortable! (for Eomer or Faramir, anyway)

Author Reply: I think Eomer and Faramir will come to an understanding - they may even help each other out! LBJ

Yay! Eomer's learned his Nessas from his Niennas! And now he's inconveniently got Amrothos and Nienna coming on this morning ride! How he's going to share his attention among Faramir, Eowyn, Amrothos, Nienna and Lothiriel I cannot begin to imagine!

Good to see Eomer reacting just as his sister wants him to. He might as well give in now, really. He knows he wants to!

I like the chaos of the early stages of a party - with no-one in the right place or doing or saying exactly what is expected. Male competition between Faramir and Eomer too - the traditional can-I-break-your-hand grip! Do they never grow up?

And bemused Eomer is very entertaining. Lothiriel doesn't stand a chance now he knows she available for the hunt. (Mind you, I don't think she'll mind the pursuit!)

Author Reply: Intresting you mentioned The Hunt as I was going to call one chapter - The Chase - but it may not work out. And no, the never grow up!LBJ

Eomer is going to wish he'd worked more on his memory! One Valier isn't just like any other. He might also end up hoping that he catches on before two young ladies realise he is on another planet and decide to torment him further.

M'mm. Picturing Eomer standing in the sun waiting for his hair to dry ... I suspect 'Nessa' finds the view quite appealing. And then, he is so clearly distracted in her company.

She and Eowyn could have a lot of fun on that ride. The one that Amrothos will not mind her taking with the King of Rohan. Because he is probably otherwise engaged.

Potential for confusion: great.

Oh I am glad that I am not the only reviewer who is screaming at the computer about mistaken identity! *g* Poor Eomer. But I do think the idea that it would take 12 seconds for Eomer to propose is overly long! I think 2 might be nearer!

Poor silly Eomer, not realizing that it is his friend's _sister_, not his intended ;). Mistaken identity stories are fun, and you are painting such a nice picture of Eomer and Eowyn, and his friendships with Aragorn and Elfhelm as well. I hope we see more of Aragorn soon!

Ah, mistaken identity is always so fun to deal with!

Beautiful details, and lovely drawing out of the tension here. I find I do like it a good deal.

Am I realllly, reallly wide of the mark in thinking that Nessa is Lothiriel? There were plenty of clues in this chapter---or are you just out to tease your readers?

A very enjoyable chapter and I loved Nessa's(Lothiriel's?) bright chatter and confident manner.Oh, and she was surprised that Eomer would think it a problem with Amorothos if she went riding with him.....mmm

Love this story and can't wait for the next chapter!

Ali.

you absolutely can't write fast enough for me.

poor Eomer. how shocked will he be when he finds out her true identity? I imagine you'll need to draw that out as long as possible; with this setup, it will take him approx. 12 seconds to ask Imrahil for her hand!

There's something about this chapter that is just delightful. And it's not due to Eomer's state of undress! It's simply charming.

I love the way the King of Rohan feels the need to safeguard his virtue. And Elfhelm's need to introduce Eomer to some of the odder elements of bathing traditions in Gondor. And Elfhelm's assessment of Faramir is spot on.

I think he's onto a loser with choosing a blonde bride, though.

Author Reply: Hi Bodkin,

I thought he was a bit mean - barricading the door and leaving a dissapointed housemaid!

I think you may be right about the bride. Thanks for reading and reviewing. LBJ

So--he's not yet cottoned to the fact that by the time a sponge finds its way into a bathroom it's already well dead? Poor Eomer! And he is already being set up, it appears. That IS Lothiriel out there, isn't it, rather than Amrothos's intended? I certainly hope so!

Love the description of the bathroom and its facilities.

Author Reply: Hi Larner,

Poor Eomer is going to be confused about more than the sponge! Thanks for the review. LBJ
