The Shadow in the Past  by Itarille 3 Review(s)

Oh oh! I do not think Aragorn would give Denethor permission to use the stone, at least not while Sauron has the Ithil stone. Maybe it is a mercy Finduilas isn’t here (and Elfhild, Théodwyn and Éomund, too for that matter)

Author Reply: Ah, it's a good point. Aragorn (or any wise king) would discourage the use of a palantir while Sauron has the Ithil stone.

This is a really interesting scene and consideration of if Faramir knew that Denethor used the palantir and a good conversation about how it'll be if Faramir had persuaded Denethor to not do so. I liked how you said he used it to see where Boromir is which makes sense.
I do like the Faramir and Denethor relationship you describe here. And your character voices are very well written.
This is a great story and i enjoyed the earlier parts as well. The chapter of Finduilas passing was heart-breaking.

Author Reply: Thank you for reading and sharing your thoughts. I appreciate that you could still enjoy my story, even though (based on some of your stories) you have different interpretation of our Steward.

This is an absolutely stunning chapter. The Professor would be proud.
