I've been reading this story since the first few chapters were posted, and it is amazing! I found Hakim to be very believable and could really feel how he felt. I loved the flashback style of storytelling, though, I must admit, at first I got the names confused and thought that it was Hakim who was captured (it was just me not paying enough attention to details :P). Anyway, I am eagerly awaiting the sequel! ~Szepilona~ Author Reply: Thanks! I'm glad you've been enjoying it! I suspected it might be tricky to keep the characters straight (given the number and prominence of OCs) but I'm glad you enjoyed the story nonetheless. -Brennan | |

This has been a wonderful story and I've savoured every chapter.I hope Aragorn and Hakim can remain friends. I was puzzled why Aragorn was so harsh, but you explained the reason well.I hope you will return to Aragorn and Hakim one day.This is one of the best stories(including printed books)that I've read in ages. Author Reply: Thank you so much for the amazing review! (And the rec on LJ) I'm so glad you enjoyed this tale. <3 -Brennan | |

AHHH! Words cannot express how much I loved this story. Throughout this entire work, I have appreciated your careful detail, excellent characterization, and overall skill with crafting this narrative. You, quite simply, "get" Aragorn. And since all the facets of his character are so interesting to me, this story was like a gift! It's bookmarked for future re-reads and will certainly go down as one of my favorites in all the years I've read in this fandom. Looking forward to the sequel and whatever else you write. Author Reply: Thank you! Your awesome reviews have meant a lot to me as I was trying to get this done. -Brennan | |

Change is upon us and a choice now lies before Gondor. What shall we make of these days of peace? What a question to ask those who have known only war! A new Age has dawned indeed. This was a magnificent, beautifully written story, full of wisdom and great perception. Thank you for sharing it. Author Reply: Thank you so much, shirebound! All your support along the way has been wonderful. -Brennan | |

A most satisfying conclusion to a great story. You did a fabulous job throughout. Now I understand why you kept handing is cliffhangers for the Gondor court scenes. You presented a very realistic view of some of the difficulties facing the early days after the war. Looking forward to any of your stories. Your OC's are remarkable. You do a wonderful Aragorn too. Thanks so much. Author Reply: Thank you! Yes, the cliffhangers were sort of a mean way to ratchet up the tension in the Gondor scenes. :) I'm glad you enjoyed the resolution to that storyline. All of your reviews along the way have been wonderful! <3 -Brennan | |

I do believe that, in this chapter alone, you have captured everything I love most about Aragorn and presented it with near-heartbreaking clarity: his quiet calm, his kind dignity, his acceptance of duty, his wisdom, his unshakable belief in the things he stands for, his sense of honesty and fairness, his humilty, his resolute commitment to become whom is meant to be... Naturally, I could go on. I have fallen ridiculously in love with your writing, and I am not ashamed to admit that I may have jumped up and down (just a tad) at the mention of a sequel. Thank you so much for sharing this incredible story! Author Reply: Thank you so much for the wonderful review! I'm glad you liked my portrayal of Aragorn. Those traits you listed are what drew me to his character in the first place and what I love about him so much . . . but at the same time, they must make it so very hard to be him at times. The epilogue should be up tomorrow. I hope you enjoy! -Brennan | |

Whoo hoo! What a great ride you've taken on us. I never thought I'd visit harad or its farmlands. This was such fun. You are a great story teller. Can't wait to see the epilogue and the sequel. Life is good! Author Reply: Thanks for the great review! I'm so glad you enjoyed this tale, and I hope the epilogue lives up to your expectations. -Brennan | |
