To See A World  by Nightwing 30 Review(s)

Oh wow - there was nothing "off" about this chapter whatsoever. It's so good to see an update to this tale.

Your description of the dream was so vivid and yet with only visual images of the sword and blood I think it conveyed very well how Legolas must dream now that he has been blind for so long. I like the way you keep returning to the sword throughout the story - it provides a real sense of focus.

But I'm concerned about Legolas now - the dream seems to have shattered his confidence just when he seemed to be gaining in strength. I can't help thinking that there's something more sinister at work than just a mere dream.

Hello!
A good chapter. I enjoyed Brina and the part she played in this installment as well.
You say that this chapter is a little off than from how you usually write and I noticed some differences but honestly: It's been a while since I last read this story (since the last chapter you posted to be exact) and while I can remember the story itself its been too long for me to remember your writing style. So what I'm trying to say is that there was some nagging bit of me that registered this chapter different from the rest but not enough to really make a difference on how I read it. I thought it was fine.
Good job and can't wait for the next installment.

Oh, my, this was one e-mail I wasn't expecting to see in my Inbox! But what a delight to have you back, Nightwing. Thank you for returning to this story, and please don't think that you've lost your muse -- your standards are as high as always, and I eagerly await the next chapter.

Wow!!! Welcome back! I was absolutely totally delighted to see you continue with this epic tale. I loved this latest episode - it was not 'off' at all - you seemed to get straight back into the saddle. I thought the dream sequence was excellent, really menacing and so disjointed and chilling that it made me wonder if I had actually missed an update for a minute. I loved the way that you conveyed the claustrophic atmosphere of their hiding place and the way being trapped in a sort of limbo affected them.
Brina was really good in this chapter - slipping easily between being a humorously scolding figure (I loved her 'holiday in Mordor' quip) to a tragic heroine who knows she must carry on in the face of her personal loss.
I am just so captivated and intrigued by this story - I cannot wait to see where it goes next.

Hooray, another chapter. Oh, how I´ve missed my favourite story and this chapter is far from "off". It is as good as always. Please keep going.

I have only recently signed up as a member here, but I picked up this story a year or so back and read 43 chapters in one hit - that's how much I loved it!
Your writing doesn't seem 'off' to me at all. Your wonderful mix of drama, humour and angst is as great as ever. I only hope you can keep the updates coming.

I am so glad to see another chapter posted. For Brina to be able to look past her pain to help Legoas and Aragorn says much about her character. Her grandson would have been most proud of her. I do hope, no, I am sure Aragorn and Legolas will succeed with their plan.

I shall wait very patiently for the next chapter. I know you are very busy and appreciate you taking the time to write. How is your daughter doing?

Welcome back! I'm glad your writer's block has eased somewhat.I've missed updates to this story!

Legolas' dream was just dreadful and Legolas was lucky that Aragorn could smother his distress from being heard by the enemy.The blade has been a part of this story from the first chapter and Legolas seems to be at the end of his endurance.The blade is testing Legolas' sanity, it seems, and Aragorn is right to be worried.I, like Aragorn, think that Legolas is stronger than he seems but I'm not sure whether Aragorn could leave Legolas behind when he confronts the wizard.He has confidence in Legolas' abilities even if Legolas does not.

I enjoyed the humour in this chapter."Going somewhere" from Aragorn had me laughing out loud as did Brina's "Ara-? Aragorn.Well, I've heard worse".That was too funny.Brina really loves to urge her patients into receiving their medicine and I suppose Legolas & Aragorn need her assertiveness.She is a wonderfully bold character and she's also very brave to stand up to the evil that has decimated her home.I'm hoping to see her again soon.

I hope that real life is treating you well, Nightwing.I'm looking forward to the next chapter, whenever it may be.I still love this story and can't wait to find out how Legolas regains his sight.Update soon!

Ali.
