Recovery in Rivendell  by Budgielover 7 Review(s)
Queen GaladrielReviewed Chapter: 62 on 10/11/2005
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.

I have enjoyed every minute of this story! You do an amazing job with the hobbits and Elrond was regal throughout with a very nice touch of humor and warmth. Thank you for a great story.

“Yes, Merry.” Pippin exhaled softly, relaxing. Now that the time had come to depart, he felt young and frightened and nervous, and not at all eager to leave. I’m glad we came here, he thought, his gaze taking in the leaves falling from the winter-touched trees and the elegant, time-honored architecture. I will remember our time here as long as I live. And I have Cousin Bilbo’s drawing to remind me, tucked safely in the pages of Frodo’s book. Waiting for us to get back.

You know how dear Pippin is to me, this made me get teary.

Thank you for this fun, exciting and teary tale!! And I eagerly await your next one.

And another of my favourite stories comes to an end. And, like its predecessors, I loved this last chapter. The Yule-festivities fit seamlessly into the book-canon, giving a bit of background to Elrond providing warm clothes and other necessities for the journey for the Hobbits (and those other gifts that were not mentioned in canon but left behind in Bilbo's keeping, except for Sam's cooking gear -- no wonder he was so reluctant to leave it behind in Mordor).

And Elrond's reaction to the dragon tooth was just hilarious. Good that he did not know too much about the circumstances under which it was retrieved.

Cudos for this wonderful story,

fliewatuet (looking forward to something completely different ...)

Sniff! I can't believe one of my favorite stories has come to an end. Will Elrond ever recover? Ai, your faithful reader will journey onward with you!

Thanks for a great story!
