I haven't ever read an extended story like this one about Numenor, but find I am intrigued by the story of Miriel. I know of her and would like to see how she faced such a dark, terrible turn in her life. This first chapter sets up the tension of the moment...from the nightmares she has, her father's failing health, the murder of the queen...and you have set up these first main characters very well, beginning with the grave, burdened Miriel. I look forward to reading the rest, Valiniel. This was a wonderful start.
