Light on the Way  by Larner 3 Review(s)

Larner,
I have been wandering with wonder through your writing, (all of your stories,) And getting very little done in RL! Thank you so much for such a depth of emotion. You have developed the characters in ways that are very true to the way I feel about them and yet kept an element of distance or specialness that is in keeping with the subject matter. Brilliant stuff, I can't wait until you post more.

Author Reply: Thank you for the honor.

My goodness, such a roll call of names that I'm beginning to come to know, as I research history for the sake of "Thain". What fun to see Arvedui! And all the others... Boromir, restored to his brother's side. And to know that Denethor is there, also, even though he's still healing.

It brought a smile of wonder to my face to see all these esteemed souls honour Aragorn.

And a smile of delight at the thought of Mandos and his wary watchfulness.

And Olorin sounds just as I have imagined him. Nicely done. (I wonder, is your Mandos a joyful being as well? I cannot imagine it being called "Gift" of Illuvatar if a sombre being was in charge of it.)

You have a typo, I think, for this does not read smoothly:
He could no longer fight the command he turn to the West, and afar he saw the way he must go, straighter than the Straight Path.

On the whole, however, this was marvellously done, and I eagerly anticipate his reunion with Frodo and Sam! (and Arwen, eventually)



Author Reply: Will think on that one. Have one other sentence earlier that bothers me, and cannot think how to change it.

Thanks.

Author Reply: Well, it's a year in the mortal world before she accepts the Gift. We'll see how it plays out.
