| The chapter looks quite good; and the plot is thickening; our heroes coming closer to the goal they seek. Author Reply: Many thanks for your much appreciated review.I think this is a surprise for both of them! | |

| Hmm; two steps forward and one step back, it seems. Fascinating chapter; and more to come on this spiritual and actual journey. Author Reply: Many thanks for your much appreciated review.Progress seems painfully slow for these two! | |

| The description of Aragorn in the lake is my favourite passage out of all the stories of yours I have ever read. Far too rarely is Aragorn portrayed in such magnificent terms. It was a true pleasure to read. Author Reply: Many thanks for your much appreciated review.This is one of my favourite chapters too!I'm pleased that you like it so much! | |

| You make the lake sound so beautiful and a very spiritual place. It's no wonder Aragorn feels Eru is calling to him personally. A lovely chapter. Author Reply: Many thanks for your much appreciated review >I'm so pleased you liked the lake,based on some near my home you can see on my website.I'm glad you enjoyed the chapter. | |

| Oh my gosh! So much tension! I hope they don't kill eachother! Very good building of the tension. I feel horrible for faramir. Author Reply: Many thanks for your much appreciated review again my only one. I think they are angry enough to kill each other! | |

| I like the contrast of Aragorn's more free spirit compared to Faramir's habit of rigid ritual. Oddly, I like the colder Aragorn. It's a side of him we don't often get to see. I do feel for Faramir though! Author Reply: Many thanks for your much appreciated review. I always see Faramir as tending to be more formal than Aragorn. I found cold Aragorn quite hard to write,though from the books I feel he can be intimidating when he chooses! | |

| Lots of great things in this chapter. I am afraid I am going to have to re-read it later due to being a bit blurry today due to meds, but I really liked what I saw. I liked all the history you included. I wrote a story about Anarion's daughter, so I liked how mentioned her. Not many people talk about Anarion, even though he's one of my favorites. I liked how Arwen came up with the whole plan, I liked seeing her taking action to make things right. I feel that is very true to her character. I look forward to reading more. Author Reply: Many thanks for your much appreciated review.It is so nice that someone is reading here. Raksha and I assumed Anarion may well have had daughters who were not mentioned in canon.I love Arwen and see her as very wise. | |

| Lots of detailed and well writen emotions displayed in this chapter. It's interesting to see Aragorn in such a vulnerable state, but you write it well. I really love seeing Arwen as the strength in this chapter. I like seeing her as a hero of sorts. I also really liked how you included the historical refernces from Tolkien's writing too. That added a lot to the chapter too. I'm interested to see how this plays out. Author Reply: Many thanks for your much appreciated review.I'm pleased you liked the way I portray the emotions.It was quite hard to write Aragorn like this.I'm glad you like my Arwen. | |

| Definitely an uncomfortable dinner! I loved the characterisation of Arwen here; she is pulling out all the stops, but Aragorn is not cooperating, and she is not pleased, though her heart aches for him. A sad and delicate situation; excellently plotted. Author Reply: Many thanks for your much appreciated review.The more I write Arwen,the more she grows on me.I think we've all been in situations like the dreadful dinner party at some time or other.I'm pleased you enjoyed the chapter. | |
