| Yes, he has lost so much... his entire family. (I'm glad he has his uncle and cousins, and the love and respect of his Men, but still. He has walked lonely for a few days after his awakening from the Black Shadow before meeting – and becoming intrigued by – Éowyn.) And here is where their eyes first meet! (I remember talking about this moment in a previous review, maybe in a different story.) "looking into his own soul" – and is it the same with her? ..."gentle" is her first thought of him, echoing a childish wish expressed so long ago, when the world was still a bright and promising place in her eyes. I love the image of the fluttering bird at the end of the chapter, knowing that "if only for a moment or two" is her reality in this moment, yet the future is not yet written. | |
