| Beautiful, just perfect...and I know that it is completely out of topic, but Gosh, I miss my Dad so much, that unconditional love and so much wisdom. Author Reply: As I lost my own father about eight years ago (and he was the great balancer in my family, making up for my abusive mother), I also miss him very much. Thanks for the review! | |

| What a lovely experience for them (and us!). And I especially enjoyed this small detail... "She does this as much for her own pleasure as for theirs." Author Reply: Thank you kindly! I hesitate to say that Varda is a sweetheart, but I can't help but think she has a touch of that in her. | |

| I can really understand the Elves a little bit. They misinterpreted the Death of Mortals, but I can see why they feel confined and restricted in Valinor, it is something that even the Valars had anticipated. What I don't understand is the Maiars, they should know better and to question Eru himself, it is beyond jealousy, it is treason.. You mentioned Aránayel and I suddenly remember that you never finished her story. For what I'm reading, it seems that her pursuit came to nothing, but I would love to know what really happened and if she was able to do something against Olórin, and how it ended. I always was afraid that she will find a way to take the circlet away and imprison him or something like that. Do you plan to finish the story? Author Reply: I do indeed WANT to finish that story, but my Muse hasn't been cooperating yet. The entire tale is mapped out and I do know how it's going to play out and end, so if I should find that the block simply will not budge, I will let people know how things resolve, and show them what I have written of the denouement. And about the jealous Maiar.... We know it's a failing they can have, and while these aren't evil, they need an attitude adjustment. That will be coming soon. Thanks for the review! | |

| Ah, logic and emotion properly blended this time. Time for all to begin thinking and acting wisely! Poor Eonwe, having to deal with his own confusion as well as that of his fellows and the Eldar. Author Reply: Being the Elder King's Herald (and ersatz son) is a hard job, but someone has to do it! Thanks for the comments, | |

| It's wonderful to see how intimately Eönwë is still involved with Lord Manwë and his family, and that he's involved with important decisions that affect so many. I had never given him much thought before! Author Reply: I'll admit that I hadn't given Eönwë a great deal of thought either until I started bringing him into my stories -- which I think are better for it! Thanks for the review! | |

| It is good to see the love shown between the Lord and Lady of Arda and their guests. How delightful that the Maiar have visited in the Shire to learn how to cook with true Hobbit mastery! Now, to see what mischief might be up! Author Reply: Thanks! Given how unique the Hobbits are in the world, it seems only right and fitting that the Ainur should be fascinated with them, so long as they don't meddle. | |

| What a surprise! I was not expecting the update so fast, it is great. Well, to see what Eonwe has to say.... Thank you Author Reply: You're welcome! I should have the next chapter ready to post soon. :) | |

| Imagine enjoying "a family meal" with Manwë and Varda! But then, you *have* imagined it, and beautifully. What a delightful chapter. And I do love this: "Simple things are not dangerous, unless they lead to excess." So true. Author Reply: So glad you're continuing to enjoy the tale. Thanks! | |
