| Greetings Gwidhiel, Some years ago, a friend read me both Athrabeth Finrod ah Andreth and Laws and Customs Among the Eldar. Both of these texts immediately became my favorites among Tolkien's writings. It is a great pleasure to read a tale which so eloquently describes the situation in the House of Finwë. The characters are well-developed and the psychological implications of the situation are brilliantly set forth. I hope you will soon let us hear the end of the tale. Blessings, Alassiel Author Reply: Hi, Alassiel, I'm with you about Athrabeth! I'm very pleased to know that you're finding the story compelling; I have worried a bit because it is very much about the internal lives of its characters, with little action, so I don't want to let anyone drone on too much. I'm trying to finish it soon! Thanks for your review! | |

| I wonder that I never had come across this story before because it is absolutely wonderful. I love that you have made Indis a three-dimensional character that I can sympathise with rather than having her just remain a name on a family tree in the back of a book. The family dynamics and the exploration of forgiveness, maturation, honesty with one's self and responsibility are excellently drawn. I look forward to reading the next chapter very much. Edlyn Author Reply: Hi, Edlyn, Thanks very much! I just posted this story, in fact I still have a bit more to write before the story will be complete. I'm so pleased to hear that you find the family dynamics believable. This is the first time I've ever written any fiction (besides some bad high school assignments, loooooong ago), and hearing from people has been very gratifying. Thanks again for reviewing! | |
