Recovery in Rivendell  by Budgielover 72 Review(s)
Eirinn LeighReviewed Chapter: 17 on 1/8/2016
A most delightful read so far. I got a bit jumbled up trying to keep track of the wagers... but I certainly wasn't the only one it seems!
As far a preparing for the Hobbit basic training... has any of the Big Folk thought to consult the hobbits, or at least Bilbo, on what they already /do/ know. The skill of Tookish archers for example is well known and even if Pip is not trained that way himself surely Frodo and Bilbo would have something to say on the construction of the bows... how strong the draw should be for example.

I've read this before, but have been slowly re-reading some of your older stories. I wanted to tell you that I love how you write the dialogue between the hobbits and Aragorn. Gently teasing, full of affection, yet stern when needed - I love your Aragorn! And I always love, love your Frodo, even when he is being completely stubborn. Hopefully, I will be able to read all your fics again - while we wait for more new ones. Hint, hint!

Budgielover, I enjoyed this tale immensely! I love the blending of angst, humour, adventure, and unflinching sweetness. The familial love that our beloved hobbits share is beautifully portrayed, as are the characters themselves, and the ending is very effective. I'll certainly be reading the sequel! Very well done, and this story well deserves its honours! Namarie, and God bless,
Galadriel

Author Reply: Hullo, your Majesty! Thank you so much for your kind words - all of them. I am especially proud of my Rivendell series - it is one of the few times that hobbits can unabashedly act like hobbits. 'Our' version of hobbits, anyway. I'm so glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for telling me so.

Nice little relapse there with Frodo. Nice angst for him. Merry and Pippin are getting in a little over their heads I would think.

Looking forward to the next part.

I am a bit like Aragorn I am afraid - looking at Merry and Pippin teaming up together for anything and I think to myself UH-OH !!!!!! doubly.

Scheming hobbits - Merry and Pippin. Poor Sam already so worried about Frodo being so sick from his injury and not recovering as well as everyone would like. Now he has got himself caught up in the mischief created by the two cousins and he has to watch out for them too. No rest for poor Sam.

I just love the determined little hobbit who sticks to his guns and not afraid to take on the future King of Gondor. Frodo's stubbornness is just great - it is fun to see just how annoyed he can get with all of the fussing. Everyone credits him with being weak, tired and ill, which he might be - but then comes the frustration and anger at the babying.

I want to fuss over him too but I do so love that stubborn streak in Frodo.
