The Soldiers  by Holdur 5 Review(s)
JULES6Reviewed Chapter: 1 on 4/17/2004
Hi Holdur,

This is my favourite paragraph of your wonderful little story, even though it is the last one:

Merry!” Even as he is swept away, Pippin reaches back for Merry. Only Gandalf’s steady hands keep the hobbit on the horse. As if Pippin’s last cry jolted him into action, Merry darts after them and out of the stables. If he could, he would fly and pluck Pippin from Gandalf’s grasp and hold him forever.


So reflective of Merry's thoughts and his feelings as Pippin is taken away from him, even if it is to protect and keep him safe.

Nice storm imagery. Very interesting take on hobbits and Gandolf. Please continue. Thank you for all of your hard work.

An interesting perspective on the scene, with some wonderful description. The storm image is carried nicely. I look forward to seeing scenes from the POV of other soldiers.

This is a very different look at the hobbits and I enjoyed this very much. I also thought it told a great deal about Gandalf as he was observed to want to give comfort if he had the time to do so. Lovely story. Hope there is moe.
