| That was very good. On a scale of 1 to 5, I would definately give it a five. Author Reply: Thanks! I am so shocked by all the wonderful reviews I've been getting. You gave it a five? Gandalf's beard! I'm so flattered! Thank you! Namarie! Loremaster | |

| i can't believe this is your first fic. so well written! very interesting way to display the Harad - not all bad, not all good, but real. And the perspective of the princess was interesting, too. Well done! Author Reply: Thanks muchly! I love feedback (Keep the reviews coming, people!), and your review was welcome. Thank you for the compliment about my prose. I'm new and still learning so that was a boost for my ego. I'm flattered that you like my vision of Harad. I always assumed that there must have been something wrong with Harad's management because I can think of several civilizations in Real World history that somehow carved a flourishing culture out of miserable surroundings. I'm glad you liked Vilnez. I was afraid that her rather strong gift of foresight would somehow put her in the Mary Sue category even though I attempted to find a plausible reason for her visions. I'm rather fond of her and her nasty old brother myself so I'll probably write more on them in the future. Thanks again! Namarie! Loremaster | |

| Well done! Good descriptions, both visual and emotional. And nice touches of subtle humor. You've caught the narrator's hopelessness in the midst of the celebration. Again, well done. Please keep writing! Blessings, Mum Author Reply: Mae govannen! (I hope I spelled that right.) Thanks for your review. My fic was actually going to be much longer than I realized some parts were unnecessary and cut them. I also tried to make sure Vilnez didn't morph into a Sue since most Sues are evil. *shivers* Would you mind telling me if I used foresight right? I have this nagging feeling that Vilnez's "gift" is a little too refined for it to be ordinary Tolkien foresight, and since I'm an obsessed nit-picker, I want to be as close to Tolkien's vision as possible. Thanks for the comment about the subtle humor. I am NOT funny in real life and to have some humor in my angsty/dramatic fics is rather nice for me. I'm glad you thought Vilnez's misery and inability to do anything despite her foresight was done well. Gracias! Namarie! / Loremaster | |

| Other than you used "unforgivable" in describing the land where you ought perhaps to have used "unforgiving," your writing is excellent. Very nicely done indeed. Author Reply: Thanks for pointing that out. I'm new to writing fanfiction, although I've been reading for a little less than two years by now. Any concrit is greatly appreciated. I also discovered I'm a bit of a review hog so I'm glad for any type of feedback. Thanks again! Namarie! / Loremaster | |
