Thain  by Lindelea 5 Review(s)

Ahh. Government intervention. Can't have a shepherd becoming Thain's heir. Although Pippin seems the happiest he's been in a while, that sort of thing really doesn't matter when it comes to politics, does it!

Oh my word. I did not see this coming. I didn't think the Thain would show up and stop the proceedings. I knew that Pippin would not be going with the Brockbanks but this was very interesting indeed. I felt sorry for Merry because he didn't know what was coming and sorry for Pippin because he had made his peace with it all and was happy only to have it taken away. I also hated that the Thain's visit made Pippin unable to greet Pearl like he had wanted to. Now, the rest of this party should be interesting. It is no wonder that Pippin went through some wild times after this.

A chapter worth waiting for. This was very good. I'm actually kind of sad that Pippin won't be going back with the shepherd and his wife. I know the really did care for him. Paladin is not going to be happy about this. I don't think he himself wants squat to do with the Thainship, and he certainly doesn't want to deal with actually training his son to follow him. He has already empled that by sending him to another to train. I find Paladin very hard to like. Yes, I know life has not always dealt kindly with him, but he's just not the likable type.

At least Merry isn't going to be deprived of his favorite cousin for the next seven years.

Now I'm wondering what's going to happen. Hope you can update soon.

Thanks.

Oooh, a proper cliffhanger.

Excellently written as usual. Am waiting for this to continue.

Wow. Wasn't expecting that! What a horrible way to find out about the succession.

I think this is the best chapter so far. What a cliffhanger! Poor Pippin. Poor Brockbanks. Poor everyone.

What happens next? How do they all deal with this bit of news? Will the Bolgers turn up wanting Pippin to marry Estella? What will happen between Pip and Paladin? Will we be seeing Paladin changing much before he actually becomes Thain?

Ahem. Must stop babbling in reviews. But can't help it, this story is excellent, must have more, more, more, precious!!

Drooling in anticipation of next Pippin update.
