| Oops, one nitpick. As far as I know Denethor never had a brother. He had two unnamed sisters. You can either change it or not; it's not overly important. Namarie, Morwen E. Author Reply: Thank you very much for your insight and concern, but since it does not affect the story, I won't change it. But I highly appreciate your information. -T. | |

| I love this fic. Beautifully written, very few grammar and spelling mistakes, excellent characterization, engaging plot, clear dialogue. Aragorn was brilliantly done. He kept his spirit and nobility even when he was suffering. He was written as Tolkien intended him to. Faramir and Eomer were muchly in- character as well. Your original characters are wonderful. Vlohiri makes a wonderful hero. He's one of the few believable heroes I've seen in LotR fanfiction. Most heroines and heroes I've seen are dumb Mary Sues that outshine everyone, and whose actions are so unrealistic, I feel like puking over and over again. Vlohiri, however, feels real to me. He acted like any young boy would and seemed to genuinely care for Aragorn for himself, not because some teenage girl thinks he's so "hott 111". Lady Saborian, Medros, and her minions are realistic villains. They had reasons behind their actions and are credible as the bad guys. Lomac, Narana, and the villagers are wonderfully done, too. They acted like villagers in those times would. They're suspicious and ignorant (except for Lomac, of course) like people with little contact with the outside world would act. I wanted to nominate this fic for a Mithril Award, but nominations are over. Next year, I'll try to, and I bet you'd win. Namarie! Morwen E. Author Reply: Thank you very much for this praise! I always try to bring the OCs to life, and it is nice to read that it worked. When writing I consider the OCs even more important to characterize since the CCs are known and can only be developed in certain scopes. / I hope you will find the time to have a look at the (kind of) sequel. It will be a much longer story and my friend and I hope to finish it before the year is through. / Take care, Timmy | |
