Grey Wonderer · 8 June 2004 · Chapter 12: The Singer and the Thief

I am so glad to see Brogar again! I always like it when an old friend returns. I also loved the kite flash-back at the end of the chapter. Even then, Pippin was adventurous. I love that he didn't want to come down because he was enjoying the view. Oh, and he sees to have gotten over his dislike of girls since then. LOL I think it is so interesting the way that Pippin can sometimes push Maglor out of his mind, but not entirely because of Maglor's strength and experience. I wonder if they will be on the same side in this or if things will take a nasty turn at some point. Can't wait to read more so I am going on to the next chapter.

Wow! I really liked this chapter. Having Pippin know not to take weapons into the circle of trees was really cool. I'm glad he decided to leave the crown, and can't wait to see what happens next.

"I can tell a hero when I see one." "So can I," murmured the captain later, glancing at the sleeping hobbit sprawled on the hammock in a corner of his library. I loved those lines! You have such a talent for writing action sequences! Keeps your readers on the edge of their seats. I also really like Davy's character,and Pippin's uneasiness with people thinking frodo was a savior. Great Stuff! Going on to read more!

Marvelous! Oh, this will be an adventure worthy of Peregrin Took, I can feel it already. Thank you! jo

jodancingtree · 8 June 2004 · Chapter 2: Knight of Gondor

Oh, this is great! (shivers with excitement) Thanks! jo

hobbit_lass · 8 June 2004 · Chapter 3: The Bay of Belfalas

What a interesting twist! I find myself liking the pirate. Another great chapter, and I enjoyed how Pippin was going to act like he didn't know the King in order to avoid being ransomed. Can't wait to see what happens next.

hobbit_lass · 8 June 2004 · Chapter 2: Knight of Gondor

Another great chapter! I liked the swordplay between Pippin and Faramir, but I loved the fight between Pip and Eowyn. She would have never given anything but her very best to a fight, and I liked how you portrayed that! It's cool that he's got passage on a ship and I can't wait to see what adventures occur! I also really liked the explanation of his new sword and the inscription.

hobbit_lass · 8 June 2004 · Chapter 1: Thain's Heir

Oh, I love it! I've never read anything quite like this, but so far I'm really enjoying it! I liked how both Merry and Sam supported him in his adventure in their own ways, and the pain Pippin felt when he saw Sam's Frodo just about broke my heart! Going on to read the next chapter, Can't wait!

purrlin · 8 June 2004 · Chapter 12: The Singer and the Thief

OK so Grey Wonderer isn't the only one enamoured with your work! I am impressed! I feel we're at the crossroads where all the characters to date will finally be bought together. I love the idea of Maglor being around.... I'm desperate to know how your Captain of the pirate ship will fit in. What has happened to Davy and where will our beloved Pippin end up? So many questions...so many tales left open ended... I just feel there are so many chapters to come....what is Merry doing? and what about Aragorn? or Legolas or any other ot the more highly thought of elves for that matter? does not someone feel the continued action of Maglor? I await your next chapters with baited breath...do not fail me, and leave me to torment unimaginable. You do have a way of telling a story that makes one breathless.... Thank you! purrlin :) (I don't think I have ever considered Pippin such an heroic (and sexual) character! long live Hobbits!)

Grey Wonderer · 8 June 2004 · Chapter 11: The Mountain of Er

So Pippin and Leah are together and now Pippin has confessed to Er. I hope it brings him so peace because he truly needs Gandalf at this moment. All of this ties in so well with the canon and yet it becomes something completely new. Can't wait for more.

Grey Wonderer · 8 June 2004 · Chapter 10: The Blue Wizard

Pippin is so very cheeky in this. Loved him in the market place hiding under his turbin while they bought the sword. I find myself wondering who the singer was. An elf, maybe? I am reading on because this is too good to stop. So glad they have Tempest back. It will be interesting to see which of them will keep her.

Grey Wonderer · 7 June 2004 · Chapter 9: The Valley of the Star

I still love this! So, I had the wrong wizard, very like Merry and Pippin in the movie. Looks to me like Pippin is in for a very interesting time now. I am looking forward to seeing if he manages to win over Leah with that charm of his. I held my breath through the part about the box. Can't wait for more!

Grey Wonderer · 7 June 2004 · Chapter 8: The Chariots of Sakhara

I like Poclis's people and Pippin's encounter with the little girl. I also enjoyed what he said to the idol as it lay on the ground, (Who's in pieces now, Mr. Peeper? ) Very funny and very like Pippin. It is also very in character for him to go off after those men without getting help and to wind up being captured. I have a guess about the blue army and find myself thinking that there must be a connection to a certain evil, formerly white, wizard? Pippin is certainly having a very interesting adventure! I am enjoying this story so much, I was wondering if you would mind if I posted a link to it on my Live Journal? I think several of my friends would really enjoy reading this. Let me know.

Grey Wonderer · 6 June 2004 · Chapter 7: The Plains of the Sun

Appears that there is far more to Pippin's dreams than one might expect. At least he'll have some warning. Is his sight a result of his encounter with the Palantir or is it something Tookish? I am glad that those on the ship are still alive and that Pippin's pony still lives. Enjoyed Merry's part of the dream. Still defending Pippin.

Grey Wonderer · 6 June 2004 · Chapter 6: The Bone Shore

Just finished reading another wonderful chapter of this. Every time I think you've included all of the adventure that anyone can squeeze into one story, you surprise and delight me with more. I loved Pippin and Poclis watching the animals with Pippin standing on Poclis's shoulders. I love how Pippin wondered when Poclis had turned into Merry and when he said that being called a Brandybuck was an insult. LOL Also loved how Pippin thought of Sam when he found the rope. That was a very nice connection to his former travels. I find myself wondering if I've seen the last of the pirate ship and Davy and all of the crew or if a reunion looms in the future of this wonderful story. The killing of the lion was very exciting also. I almost believe that you have slain one before. (almost)

Grey Wonderer · 6 June 2004 · Chapter 5: The Forbidden Isle

Still wonderful! The part where Pippin leaves the crown for the dead queen was very moving. You are an amazing story-teller.

Grey Wonderer · 6 June 2004 · Chapter 4: A Pirate, and a Good Hobbit

The Far Side of the World Interesting title. This is Lord of the Rings, Master and Commander, Pirates of the Caribbean, Arabian Nights, all rolled into one and I am loving it! Keep the adventure coming. It is all a bit like being locked in a library with lots of wonderful books. Maybe I have been taken captive by pirates?

Grey Wonderer · 6 June 2004 · Chapter 2: Knight of Gondor

Eowyn is wonderful in this. I love the sword-play. Very good descriptions of the matches and I enjoyed how both Pippin and Eowyn refused to back down.

Grey Wonderer · 5 June 2004 · Chapter 1: Thain's Heir

I have never read anything like this and I am really enjoying it. I like the idea of Pippin setting out on his own adventure. I also enjoyed Merry's support of it. He will miss him, but he won't try to stop him. It shows how much the characters have grown since their beginnings. I go now to read more of this very entertaining tale.
