Reviews of The Ruling House of Dol Amroth

whitewave · 6 July 2008 · Chapter 3: Learning Curve

Any chapter with Amrothos is always interesting. Thanks for sharing this. I imagine that Lothy must have looked quite angelic as a toddler.

Author's reply

I imagine that she did look very angelic, though, being the youngest and the only girl I imagine she could be quite boisterous when she wanted to be, knowing she would probably get away with it. I absolutely love Amrothos as a character. I've always imagined him to be the fun-loving cheeky younger brother, trying to find his own path in life in the wake of his brothers. Thank you for reading and reviewing.

Very touching! It's nice to read about Adrahil. Thanks to Lady Bluejay, Lia and Madeleine, I'm now an Eomer and Lothy fanatic. Will be looking forward to more installments from you as well.

Thank you so much for reading and reviewing. Thanks to Lady Bluejay, Lia and Madeleine, I too am an Eomer and Lothiriel fanatic. Who wouldn't be with such wonderful characterisations by such amazing authors? It's part of the reason I was so drawn to writing about Lothiriel's childhood, although, in truth, I have had her whole life story mapped out in my head for years. But my writing is no where near that standard of writing, so I think my take on Eomer/Lothiriel will have to wait quite a while. Still, I am glad that you liked this piece as I enjoy writing about this family so much.

This is beautiful-- I never did think about how Finduilas' death must have affected Adrahil. Lovely work!

Poor Amrothos! He's a typical little brother, wanting to keep up with the older ones. And he's a resourceful kid, getting that sword for himself. I sometimes wonder how children survived in these cultures with weapons all around and fire burning everywhere.

Author's reply

I imagine it took a lot of dragging and hauling for him, but he's very determined. Thank you so much for reading and reviewing.

Very nice and very realistic - I hate to think of the hours I spent watching in slight trepidation for the gentle rise of a baby's side as it slept. I have always like Imrahil... this is a very nice portrait of the man. And fast asleep - ROTFL - typical!!!

Author's reply

I've always like Imrahil too, although I admit that I never thought of him much beyond a 'Prince' or a father before. This one came to me as a surprise but it has spurned a lot more bunnies about him and his wife/him as a young man. Thank you for reading and replying.

I liked this very much. Never gave much thought to Adrahil's loss. Always concentrating on Denethor's - but it must have been profound. Thank you for sharing this!

Ah--sleep found him anyway! Hee!

Larner · 12 April 2008 · Chapter 1: She's On My Mind

Ah, Finduilas's loss! And now he shares her memory with Imrahil's daughter. Poignant.

Thank you for reading and responding. I'm very glad that you liked it.

I enjoyed both these stories. Nice to think and Lothoriel brings such joy to her family.

Author's reply

I like to think she does. Thank you so much for reading and reviewing.

That's very sweet, Elea. Lothiriel must be a comfort to her grandfather, and she obviously adores him.

Author's reply

I've always found the grandparent/grandchild relationship to be very special and seeing as Lothiriel is his only granddaughter (providing Ivriniel had no daughters) I like to think that they were very close. Thanks so much for reading and reviewing.
