As I said before, this is a very good story and your writing is excellent.I very much liked the introduction of young Galion. And I'd like to read many more chapters...

Thank you for sharing!

Author Reply: thank you so much for your praise. I´m flattened. Young Galion was fun to write. Don´t worry, more chapters will follow soon. Thank you for reviewing. Lai

Hi. I really like the shift of attention to the eldest son and the fact that the story is getting more complicated. The more problems the better ."grin". And finally Thranduil saw the light. Hopefully not too late for Galadhion. And you left me with a cliffhanger. Your style of writing is beautiful. I hope you will update soon. Keep up the good work. Thank you.

Author Reply: yes, Thranduil has enough concern of late. Hopefully his insight is not coming too late. Thank you so very much for your lovely words. I really appreciate every review and much more such as yours. A cliffhanger yes, but I will not make you wait too long, the next chapter is already done. Thanks again for the time to review. Lai

Hi. This was a very sad chapter. Hopefully things will get better and Elrond will perfect the cure before another tragic death of a child. Looking forward to the next chapters. Good work.

Author Reply: Hi, minuial, thank you so much for your review. Yes, Elrond should hurry but at least the King is reconsidering. The next chapter is almost done. Glad you like the story. Lai

I just wanted to say that I have been following along, good story so far. You drew me in with a glimse of a little Legolas. I love little Legolas' stories. But you went back in time and I realized your story would not center around him. Oh! well, I still am reading the next chapters, so you have hooked me.

I was very glad that the eldest son, went behind Thranduil's back and asked for help. Too bad the only help to be had was from Imladris. At least he did not go to the Gladrium. (I don't like the Lorien elves, never have, they are too arogant.) I only hope this story does not end with Elrond saving the day and the Greenwood elves portrayed as bumbling country bumpkins. (Sorry, I am a Greenwood elf at heart and have always felt that the snooty Imladris elves and the arogant Lorien elves has looked down on us.) "Grins" please don't be offended if you story does end with Elrond saving everyones life.

I am glad that Thranduil has had a change of mind about letting Elrond help, but at the cost of an elfling. I am sure that will eat at him.

Please don't let one anonmous (I think that is how it is spelled) ruin your writing. You have plenty of good reveiw with encouragement to draw upon. You have courage to post your story for all to read.

Looking forward to your next chapter.

Thank you for your gift.

Author Reply: Hello, thank you so very much for your encouraging words. They really, really mean a lot to me. I´ve already considered to end the story right here, because of the one "lovely" review and the lack of others, but such reviews as yours always keep me going. I´m centered on the elves of Imladris - sorry - but I also love the wood elves as much and they will surely not look bad in the end. Elrond will help them - he´s after all the best healer, but I will surely not forgett Thranduil and Co. Again many thanks for your kind words and I hope you will further "suffer" my Noldor elves and I hope to see you at the end. Lai

I really liked the last chapters. The suspans is growing, I love that. Thranduil is one stubborn elf but, I hope he will see reason before it's too late. And I love your version of Glorfindel. Looking forward to the next chapters.

Author Reply: Hello minuial. Thank you so much for your review. It keeps me going. Yes Thranduil is stubborn but even he will see reason and his character will "develop". Stay with me and you will encounter this or that surprise. Lai

Please don't get discouraged. I'm hooked on this story, and very much looking forward to seeing what happens next.

Author Reply: Hello Silmarien, thank you for your kind words. I´m glad you like the story. At the beginning I was thrilled by the idea but I think now it was not so a good one, nonetheless I will bring it to an end. Hope to see you at the next chapters. I really appreciate your review. Lai

Sort of reads like a bad afternoon soap opera. Over-the-top melodrama and no real character development.

Author Reply: I´m sorry that you do not like the story, but you could have simply not reviewed and it´s indicative that you do citicize whithout showing your name. Lai

IreneReviewed Chapter: 6 on 4/2/2010
I like your story.It's something new, the plot is well thought-out and there is also suspension enough. Hopefully, therre will be much more chapters..
Good story

Author Reply: Hello Irene, you do not know how glad I´m about your praise, that you like my story because it is something new. That was my intention to write about something no one has described before, but the response so far was not so encouraging, until now. And I can assure you there will be many more chapters and the suspension will grow. Hope you enjoy all that will come too. Thank you so much for the time to review. Lai

Hello Lay.
Well, help has arrived. Someone should give Thranduil a good kick for being so stubbern and ungrateful. I know two people are very relieved about Elrond's arrval. Glad Glorfindle come along, he will keep the King in line.

Looking forward to the next chapter.

Janet

Author Reply: Hello Janet, you are right, someone should slap the King, but he will soon find out that reacting too late will cost him dearly. The next chapter is on the way. Thank you so much for the review. Lai

I just started to read this story and I like it very much. I enjoy reading about Thranduilion and his family and the love they share for each other. It is sad to see all the elflings suffering and am very glad that Galadhion took it on his own to write the lette to Elrond who, I hope, will find a cure.
Looking forward to the next chapter.

Janet

Author Reply: Hello Janet, thank you so very much for your kind review. I really appreciate it because I feared no one is really interested in a story about Thranduil and his family. I really like to create a family around Legolas. I´m glad you enjoyed my creation. Galadhion has really done the right thing, but his father isn´t that happy. The next chapter is on the way. Hope to see you there. Again thanks. Lai
