| So well written! Your grasp of Boromir's character is astounding. Can't wait to read further! | |

| you gave me a whole new insight into Boromir. I'd love to see how you build from this to explain why he went for the ring yet again at Amon Hen. I can see some idea seeds here..... just an idea. thanks for a great tale! | |

| Hello, esamen. I finally finished this! Sorry I didn't read sooner, I meant to, but I've been so busy lately. I absolutely loved this story!!!! You are an amazing writer, especially being able to portray all the different races so well. I'm still trying to figure out which one you like best, since you write as though you know them all equally. That last part made me feel so sad, though, knowing what does happen to Boromir. It left me feeling almost sorry for him. I really like the way you make him seem so realistic. This is a very good story! God bless, Elanor | |

| Now I have finally read all of your chapters, phew. Some of them actually twice:). This is a wondeful story, as I already said, and due to the fact that I'd repeat myself if I went on, I'll finish here. Thank you for sharing this story. | |

| Aw! Hobbits! I liked the way you pictured both of them. Talkative Pip, and Samwise, who remained rather silent, observing that new man. And you are right, this chapter is really faster than the first,probably because it has more dialogues in it. Can't wait for the next one. But now I've got to learn :p. Well, tomorrow... | |

| This is good . Writing in first person is always a difficult thing to do ( at least I think so) and writing something from Boromir's point of vie must be even more difficult. Well done! I hope I find some time to read the other chapters soon. | |

| I had started this back when an announcement was posted in the Yahoo group and never got back to finish it. May I offer my apologies for that and my sincere thanks for this lovely tale? You have captured Boromir's plight extremely well and given a convincingly honest portrayal of his state of mind. You have also shown a Frodo who has courage and strength, wisdom and resolve. I get very tired of reading lesser characterizations. You have also done something I find equally refreshing - you have shown the hobbits as young but not too juvenile (your Pippin could be a tad older - figure he is 29 - an age roughly eq. to 16 in human years) and charming without being sickeningly sweet. You made them real beings, not caricatures and that is a wonderful thing! I only wish I had finished this tale when you first posted it! I hope you will accept this late review and my thanks again for this skillfully wrought and insightful story. Do you mind if I stick it on my recs list? | |

| This is a wonderful story. Boromir doesn't often get the attention he deserves in fic, but you certainly redress the balance here. I love your portrayal of the hobbits and the burgeoning friendships within the Fellowship. You draw Boromir's character with great depth and insight, and you show the beginnings of his struggle with great skill. I really enjoyed this. Author Reply: Wow! Thanks! You have absolutely made my day delightful with this wonderful review! I was beginning to think that this fic was buried in the website and that no one would ever read it again. I loved writing it. I love telling the story of someone who has a hurting heart, and is helped and comes through the pain because of encouragement and love. I think we can all relate so much. You sound like a writer yourself. Are you working on anything? Let me know if your work is posted anywhere and I'll go give it a read. My name is Karen Roth, and you are welcome to email me at kroth@utsa.edu | |

| What a THOROUGHLY enjoyable piece of fanfic! I liked your take on the subject. You showed real insight into the characters' motivations and relationships, and kept the players in character. GREAT JOB! Freya ;) P.S. Are you sure this was your first fanfic? | |
