| Estelcontar | Reviewed Chapter: 15 on 12/9/2008 |
| This is a beautifully poignant story, in which you give us a detailed and perceptive account of how Aragorn must have felt when he returned to Rivendell after his betrothal to Arwen. The expectation, the happiness, the wistfulness of returning to the place in which he had been happy and loved is all there, as also is the anxiety he must have felt about Elrond's reaction. I couldn't agree with you more about how great was Elrond's love and affection for Aragorn, and on how he reacted to Aragorn's betrothal to Arwen. You can feel their love and affection for each other, and also feel how sad both are of having unwillingly hurt each other. You wrote a very moving scene indeed, I loved the part in which Elrond looks at Aragorn, sees Aragorn's heart to be as "open and trusting as when he was a child" and finds "the remnants of his anger dissolve to nothing". You've made Aragorn's journey from despair to determination and hope look very convincing too. And the ending is just about perfect. Author Reply: Thank you so much, Estelcontar, for your lovely review. The relationship between Aragorn and Elrond is, I'm sure, a very complex one, but the bottom line, I don't doubt, was that they never stopped loving each other. I'm so glad all this came through and that this chapter was convincing. | |
