You paint a very grim picture on your canvass, dear Pearl; you are a very gifted writer. I can see every detail clearly...and I’m on the edge of my seat waiting for more! Lobelia’s spunk shines and Sharkey’s evil makes my skin crawl. Absolutely wonderful! I thank you so much for tackling this most difficult portion of the War/Journey.

Yikes...! What a remarkable imagination you have, my dear! Brilliantly done. Our favorite wee hobbit seeing/experiencing unfathomable horrors...it’s as if he’s going through atrocity of Sauron’s inquisition through the palantir again. That was a fantastic, rivetting chapter! Thank you for writing this wonderful tale. :-)

Wow....absolutely awesome!!! The entire dream sequence is so well put together and exquisitely written! You portray the hobbit characters most wonderfully here in Rivendell. You have all four perfectly pegged. Marvelous, Pearl–thank you for sharing!

Oh, I love this quiet resolve that Rosie has! It’s exactly how I remember Tolkien wrote her character. It seems as if the rest are losing hope; which is setting the stage for a proper homecoming for the lads. :-) Very good!

Perfect in all respects. I loved Pippin and Esmeralda finally getting a moment together alone while Merry "cleared out the snakes." It was lovely to the very end. You did a brilliant job on this one!

Love the moments between the parents. Nice looks into all they have been through together and dear, dear, Freddy!

Love Lobelia's outrage and the fact that she was willing to stand against even her own son on this.

Enjoyed Pippin and Elrond clearing the air. Also liked the fact that Pippin admitted to having used his farie eyes to win his won way at times and that he realized it was wrong and quit. I wonder if most children would have been able to resist the temptation?
