Olwen Arra · 29 May 2017 · Chapter 8: Lothórien At Last

Just discovered this story and it is so good! I know it has been years since you posted but please finish it!

Marianel · 10 September 2014 · Chapter 8: Lothórien At Last

One of the best stories I have read in fanfiction and I felt so much for Estel. Have you thought of a continuation? Its absolutely great story with a different twist to it about Elrond and I like how Haldir and Estel became friends and Haldir was so gentle and almost fathered the boy after a while. Take care!

Nessa Súrion · 31 May 2008 · Chapter 8: Lothórien At Last

Could you please update this story? Thanks

Ah, how wonderful! At last he's with his Ada and at peace with the idea, the dreams and deceptions dispelled. Now, to find out WHO this other Elrond really is, and figure out how to deal with him! Hurry, Elrond, Gandalf, Galadriel, and Celeborn--amongst the four of you you ought to be able to set this straight! Heh!

Mysterious Jedi · 13 November 2007 · Chapter 7: Wrath of Caradhras

Excellent story. I look forward to finding out what happens.

Larner · 22 September 2007 · Chapter 7: Wrath of Caradhras

I'd always assumed the children of Earendil had grey eyes on both sides of the issue--Elrond and the descendants of Elros both. I'd barely remembered that part, and in my rereading via the Inglis recordings I've not reached that far as yet. But I'd always known grey. As for this first true fight with Orcs--wonderful!

AM · 22 September 2007 · Chapter 7: Wrath of Caradhras

I'm really enjoying this. In the following sentence (“Which one are you more sufficient in?”) "proficient" would be the better word and to be truly correct (but I'm nit-picking here) it should read “In which are you most proficient?”.

Fiondil · 21 September 2007 · Chapter 7: Wrath of Caradhras

Poor Estel. He seems to get the worse of it no matter what. A nice study of character as the friendship between Estel and Haldir grows. The chapter needs proofing, as I noticed many grammatical errors such as "... I do not think he will never let me out of his sight ever again" and you have text you apparently meant to replace with prhases in parentheses but forgot to. Also _vigil lín_ is not correct. "Your sword" is _magol lín_.

I like your story so far, and I had to comment on your mention of the Ranger's Apprentice series by John Flanagan. I know it's a kid's book series - but from the first time I read it, I couldn't put it down... good choice of battle backdrops. Tracey

Larner · 16 September 2007 · Chapter 6: Pursuit and Escape

Aha! Indeed a shapeshifter! And one intent on learning what he can of the One Ring while the true Elrond is away! Now, to find out who he is. (I don't have ALL the HoME books, unfortunately.)

Larner · 16 September 2007 · Chapter 5: Delays

Hadrel is a true brigand, isn't he? And two beatings he's now had? All right--the real Elrond--where are YOU?

Larner · 16 September 2007 · Chapter 4: Elrondion No More

Is it Saruman in disguise? This certainly is NOT Elrond Earendilion! And I promise I won't send Namo your way, although I might make a visit in Dol Guldur.... Heh!

Fiondil · 15 September 2007 · Chapter 4: Elrondion No More

Do you have a death wish? *grin* An Elrond who isn't Elrond... child abuse... I do hope Estel finds some help soon because you're treading on dangerous ground here, on more than one level. Looking forward to seeing how this works out... and it better work out, else I may have to ask my friend Námo to stop by your place for a little chat... but no pressure! *lol*

Mopsy · 15 September 2007 · Chapter 3: Undeserved Punishments

Yay! I first found this story over at Henneth Annun, but the stupid computer I was on wouldn't let me review and I was disappointed to see it disappear. So it was really great to find it here. I wonder what's going on with Elrond, "kind as summer" Elrond? Is he possessed? I'll keep reading for as long as you're writing. :)

Larner · 14 September 2007 · Chapter 2: Confused Without a Doubt

I see that Hughes again ate my review before it got posted. This does NOT sound like our Elrond at all. Is he now seeking out the Ring for his own purposes? Okay, now to figure out what is really going on!

Larner · 14 September 2007 · Chapter 3: Undeserved Punishments

Something obviously has gotten to Elrond to change him this much. Okay, now to see what has caused this and what he's trying to accomplish. Or is it a shapeshifter of some sort?

finafyr · 14 September 2007 · Chapter 2: Confused Without a Doubt

I do not think that it is ELrond that Estel is dealing with.. In view of the fact that the person in question seems to be looking for a palantir ... and possibly a ring.. Hummm I have my suspisions.. I am thinking that it may be a shapeshifter of some sort.. and there are very few beings in Middle earth that can do that.. I wonder how long it will be before Estel realizes that it may not be his Ada????? yes very interesting.. (grin)

Fiondil · 14 September 2007 · Chapter 2: Confused Without a Doubt

Ooh, the thot plickens! _Corma_ is the Quenya word for "ring" and by the laws of linguistic consonant shifts as they apply to Eldarin languages, the Sindarin form would probably be *_corf_. Allowing for soft mutation of the word after the definite article, the title of the book would then be "I Gorf Min Pennas". Admittedly, *_corf_ is unattested, but most Tolkien linguistic scholars would probably allow it as neo-Sindarin.

Larner · 13 September 2007 · Chapter 1: Peculiar Incidents

This would be unusual behavior for the Peredhel lord.... Intriguing.

Fiondil · 12 September 2007 · Chapter 1: Peculiar Incidents

Interesting beginning of the story, Calenlass. So what has the elf-lord acting so tetchy about? Hopefully, this is the real Elrond being mysterious and not his "evil" twin. *grin*

daw the minstrel · 12 September 2007 · Chapter 1: Peculiar Incidents

You've set up an intriguing start here, Calenlass. Elrond has something has on his mind, that's for sure. The cozy scene reading in the Hall of Fire made me want to go lie on my couch with a good book.
