| I really like Elrond's POV here. His fondness for Estel and mild amusement at his youthful awkwardness lend a pleasant maturity to this story. I'm looking forward to reading more. Author Reply: Thank you very much - I appreciate the kind words. I am glad his fondness is coming through since that is, I feel, an essential element in the story and one that I have tried to maintain even when Estel has needed some firm guidance. I hope you enjoy the rest of the story. | |

| Oh, I'm so glad to see this story here. I can't believe how well you do with first person, present tense. Elrond's voice comes through so strongly. What a wonderful father he is. And Estel is the child beginning to emerge into young manhood, but teetering back into tears sometimes. This is a compelling read. Author Reply: It seemed entirely natural to write in this style, though it can be difficult to maintain! Hunt the misplaced "ed" suffix is a new game of mine. I find Estel fascinating - I want so much to know how he became the man ready to be such a wise, noble and courageous King. It is extraordinarily interesting trying to work out some of the possibilities. Thank you so much for the welcome. | |
