daw the minstrel · 11 June 2004 · Chapter 1: Part One - Chapter One

I enjoyed this chapter, from the image of Elrond standing in the courtyard holding Estel's hand ("Can you see them now?") to the scene in Elrohir's room. I love the tangled emotions. I wonder if Elladan is jealous of Estel or of Gilraen?

I was really caught up in this dream. It was just a fascinating read. Gilraen is in such a sad and difficult position. It's really better for Aragorn to forget who he is for a while, and maybe that will even ease what sorrow he feels. But she can't forget, nor does she really want to. The identification of Arathorn and Elrond was beautifully done. I also liked Estel's demands that she watch him. There were times when my son was little that I thought he was going to narrate his life to me: Look, mommy. I'm climbing on the chair. I'm coloring. Look at me, mommy!
