A Dwarf Among Elves  by jenolas 4 Review(s)
DotReviewed Chapter: 1 on 2/2/2004
Hi! Sorry, I was away for a few days – I haven’t abandoned your wonderful stories! Firstly, I just wanted to say thanks for your replies to my last few reviews of “Immortal Friends” – you’re so kind!

This is great – I know you had hinted at some of the times Legolas and Gimli had together in Valinor in ‘Family’ (I’m thinking of the right story, aren’t I??), but I’m delighted we get a further glimpse here.

What a wonderful sense of Legolas’ excitement and sheer delight. He seems to be full of high spirits again and I think anyone who read “Immortal Friends” will really appreciate that. It says a lot for the friendship between Legolas and Gimli as well that the dwarf would feel such pleasure at the thought of Legolas’ happiness, despite the fact that he is suffering on this trip and must be more than a little apprehensive at what Valinor will hold for him.

I love the teasing between the two of them – you really do write their relationship so well. Poor Gimli seemed totally intrigued by the lady whom Legolas had apparently neglected to mention before!

It’s a lovely idea that the ship needs no guidance to find its way safely to the harbour.

I’m so glad Galadriel and Tathar made the effort to welcome Gimli so openly and eagerly. I like the way Gimli and Tathar seem so close that Gimli knows the kind of reassurance Tathar wants regarding Legolas’ well-being. I have to admit that I’m relieved as well that Tathar and Mirieth are happy again and seem to have found some peace. I’m really looking forward to seeing what’s in store for Legolas;)


Author Reply: You are most welcome, Dot.

Yes, "Family" is the story you are thinking of, but this is more of a follow on to "Immortal Friends" in that Tathar is present. However, your are correct to think that this tale is more about Gimli and Legolas, and their last years together.

I am pleased you like the way I write their friendship, it is an aspect of the books that realy appeals to me... two so different building a strong and lasting friendship.

I hope you continue to enjoy it

Very sweet and very well done so far. It was touching having Legolas see his mother again! Great job.
