The Gate of the Year  by Linda Hoyland 13 Review(s)
Raksha The DemonReviewed Chapter: 1 on 12/30/2008
A sweet and timely story emphasizing Aragorn's role of Envinyatar - Renewer; filling Faramir and no doubt others with the fire of Hope instead of despair.

Author Reply: Many thanks for your much appreciated review and your help in getting this story ready in time.I believe Aragorn fired Eomer with hope and many others before meeting Faramir.I'm pleased you liked the story.

I love that poem - I read it in one of the many Tolkien books I have but can't remember right off which one. It is lovely. Faramir would indeed have such a reaction to Fire and Frodo probably would have also. I love your ending - the love there between King and Steward. How healing for him. Happy Yule!

Namarie, God bless, Antane :)

Author Reply: Many thanks for your much appreciated review.I learned the poem from my beloved late Mother,who heard it on the King's Christmas message in the 1930's.
I'm pleased you enjoyed the ending, I do believe Tolkien intended a bond of love between Aragorn and Faramir.
May God bless you too.
