| This was a lovely, insightful story. The relationship between Denathor and Faramir reads absolutely true to me - a real exploration into both minds, being fair to each and offering each his rightful place. I don’t often read stories about the relationship between these two, but I’m so glad I read this one. Thx so much for sharing. (Also, what a fun link for Elizabeth I’s letters! I have a friend who will absolutely love it…) Author Reply: Thank you! Denethor and Faramir fascinated me, but I know my take on their relationship is not the popular /conventional one. I'm glad the story resonates with you. Yes, the Queen's letters are precious gems. I'm quite impressed by her writing-- quite elegant and erudite. I've never come across any private letters written that way. | |

| The letter is written with so much love and is so touching. Lovely end to a very thought-provoking, well described and wonderful story! It is a rare look into Finduilas and her family and i believe you capture each character's voices very well. Author Reply: Thank you so much for leaving a review! | |

| Thank you for this wonderful story - it is very moving! I love your Denethor - stern and proud, but not deliberately cold and cruel, like so many other fan works portray him. I find your characterization of him much more believable - a father who raised two brave and noble sons surely had good qualities. Author Reply: Thank you for reading and reviewing! I am glad you found it moving. (Book) Denethor is quite a character. | |

| Oh dear, this chapter is beautiful, almost painfully so. I never thought of Finduilais and Denethor in this manner and now I think I understand them better, and I thank you for that. And I do hope that they would find peace and togetherness in death for that is, perhaps, the gift of Men. Author Reply: Thank you for your encouraging words. I believe each of them would find peace and joy at the Hall of Mandos and beyond Arda, even without being together. Meeting each other again would be an added blessing. | |

| I am sure they are together again, and their joy must shine as brightly as the Sun. Author Reply: Thank you! | |
