Drummer  by Lady Bluejay 61 Review(s)
EStrunkReviewed Chapter: 4 on 7/8/2011
I was expecting a whole chapter, although maybe a short one, of Amroth sulking around Dol Amroth. So glad that he didn't do that. Although now he has another problem to solve. Can't wait to see how he and you take care of things.

What a sweet, sad chapter. But wonderful to peek at the previous events through her eyes. Of course, the other girls would be jealous. I loved the anecdote with the horse and the child. But she still thinks of him as her "wicked prince." What a reputation he has. And her cousin was awful. What a sad home. Good thing she has Drummer. Funny that you've named the whole story for him. I am curious to see why. And of course to see if, and how, they get together again.

Little Alphros comes off as a real kid, blunt, headstrong. The banter with him was fun. I love watching Amroth try to figure out how to handle a girl who is not one of his widows.
And what will he do now that she is going back to the mountains?

I almost wish you'd let Amroth be lonely for a little while longer. He certainly deserves it. His pain at losing Lothiriel is so poignant though. And she's totally oblivious. I did love the line about Eomer looking like he wants to eat her and she's handing him the knife and fork!
Devoran is such a beautiful name. I like how protective Amroth is of her already, or is he rationalizing why he wants to spend more time with her.

Loved the wedding ceremony a lot! The smaller number of guests had a more intimate feel--just perfect for Devoran. The newlyweds' little sunset frolic was very romantic as well. The best part was Drummer's pursuit--he is the title character after all. ;-) Looking forward to "Swansong".

Author Reply: Drummer had to have a big part because I am very fond of dogs. Glad you enjoyed the story and thanks for reviewing. LBJ

Well, I caught up with the last several chapters, and will re-read the whole thing when I have some time... what a lovely, satisfying conclusion to Devoran's and Amrothos' tale!

I have enjoyed this story immensely, LBJ.... not only the romantic parts, but also the awareness of how unpleasant events can have (sometimes delayed) serious emotional consequences.

Amrothos and Devoran are interesting, well-drawn characters. I so like how independent and strong Devoran is, while enjoying her uncertainties, as well.

Oh, and how could I neglect to mention Drummer? What a great dog, and a needed and welcome companion to Devoran. Though he made a nuisance of himself on their wedding night, didn't he? LOL! But I thought Amrothos found the absolutely perfect use for that hideous cover-all garment from Belecthor's(?) awful comportment book....

The only minor disappointment was that I was hoping you'd write about fat cousin Alhael being hauled up to stand accused in front of Elessar in Minas Tirith, to be humiliated in public. It would serve that treacherous piece of trash right! (Maybe you could do a one-off vignette? *big puppy eyes*)

I look forward to seeing your next entry in the saga of your Dol Amroth (& Rohan) family....

Very nicely done, LBJ! And thank you for sharing your talent with us.

Lovely chapter! I like how she is coping with being a member of a royal household. I'm also excited to read about their upcoming wedding.

Author Reply: She was bound to find it strange coming from the mountains. Wedding coming soon. Thanks for reviewing. LBJ
