The Wars of the Valar  by Fiondil 12 Review(s)
RadbooksReviewed Chapter: 2 on 7/10/2007
Well, this looks like this is going to be a very interesting story! I love the images you've created - hiding inside stars, riding on exploding stars, skipping on the rings of a planet. Wonderful. Even in that tiny glimpse of Melkor that we had, he seemed so... enticing, perhaps? (besides the evil!) You just know he had to be or else he wouldn't have had so many of the Maiar follow him. Poor Namo. Yet resisting evil strengthens you and he does remember the love his Atar has for him and that will help more than anything else - well, and he has a wise and loving older brother there to guide him as well.

I'm looking forward to more, though I do know you have your other stories you're writing. I may have to break down and read you're Thorongil one. I've put it off because I would like to write a Thorongil one of my own at some point and so I've tried not to read those. Is your story staying just in Rohan or following him into Gondor as well?

Thanks for sharing!

Author Reply: Thanks Radbooks. I'm glad you are enjoying this so far. Right now, Namo doesn't feel very strong and little realizes just how spiritually strong he really is. He would have to be considering what his "job" ends up being.

At the present moment, Stirrings of Shadow will only cover events in Rohan, since the quote from Appendix A at the beginning of chapter 1 is specific to Rohan. Whether there is a Gondor sequel remains to be seen. Perhaps you would like to pick up where I leave off so I can concentrate on playing with the Valar after I finish writing about Thorongil's adventures in Rohan. *grin*

I'm glad you've begun this! It's starting off wonderfully-every bit as good as I expected...how on Arda you're balancing THREE great stories at once is mind-boggling,lol...kudos!

Author Reply: Thanks Cat. I wasn't sure I would post this until after Elf Interrupted was finished but I kept thinking about it and after consulting with a couple of friends who thought I should post what I had I decided to do so. Unfortunately, you're not going to see this updated as much on a regular basis as my other two stories as I really want to finish them but I will be posting chapters when I can. I only hope my readers can bear with me. I'm afraid I've spoiled them. *grin*
