In Darkness Bound  by Fiondil 12 Review(s)

No time for an exhaustive review, but I had to tell you how very much I loved this! And the timing of the rising of the Sun (and the waking of the Second-born over there in Middle-earth!) was just perfect.

I love the thought that the Valar arranged it just so to time it to Arafinwe's coronation. It was a lovely symbolism of the dawn of his reign, and how it would be so much brighter than that of those who had gone before him. :)

And I loved what Arafinwe did for Ingwion when he asked him to place the crown on his (Arafinwe's) head. I could just feel Ingwion's fea healing a bit more upon hearing those words. :)

Hard to believe that this tale is coming to its end. It's been a wonderful journey through the years of the Darkening even though many parts of it made me weep and mourn, and I loved getting to know my favorite characters better.

Now I can hardly wait to see the first chapter of the sequel to Elf Academy! :)

Well done, my dear friend! Well done!

Author Reply: Hi Rhyselle. I'm glad to know you loved this chapter and the Sun's rising is indeed symbolic of many new beginnings for many. I think what Arafinwë did for Ingwion went a long way towards helping the ellon heal.

And yes, just one more chapter to wrap things up. But at least there is A Long-Expected Wedding to look forward to on Wednesdays. It will be some while though before I am ready to begin posting the sequel to Elf Academy, so people will just have to be content with Wedding until then.

Thanks for reading and reviewing. I appreciate it very much.

Anar was the last _fruit_ of Laurelin, as far as I remember. I'll probably comment more later, but I thought I should point out this error

Author Reply: Thanks for the correction. I keep getting those two mixed up. *grin*
