My, Lady Bluejay, that was a very powerful opening to what apperas to be an epic story.I enjoyed both of your tales from Lothiriel and Eomer's POV and they were each very gripping and well paced. Lothiriel, at nine years of age, is already a firecracker and Imrahil will have to rein in her adventurous spirit...but the encounter with the Haradrim may yet act as a catalyst to her future behaviour.I'm sure she will cling to her brothers and father more closely now.I know that girls as young as Lothiriel were groomed for marriage but the idea still gives me the creeps! It was good to see Eomer's compassionate nature aligned with his urge to seek revenge for the death of his parents.He is hot-headed but must follow orders from his elders for a few more years yet.He has much to learn but he has experienced men around him. I really enjoyed this first chapter, LBJ.Looking forward to the next update! Ali. Author Reply: Thank you for reviewing, Alison. It is very much appreciated. You are right, Lothiriel clings to her family for the next couple of years before becoming more confident again. Eomer does learn quickly and soon starts to show the leadership qualities we know he is capable of. LBJ | |
