A Good Man is Hard to Find  by Wordweaver 1 Review(s)
fadagaskiReviewed Chapter: 6 on 3/12/2005
I'll admit readily that I opened this story with no small amount of trepidation. "Divorce in Middle-Earth? Ai, Eru!" was my inital thought. But your reasonings and treatment of the different, conflicting emotions of the characters - especially Arwen, Aragorn, and Faramir - were wonderfully meaningful and set the whole tale firmly in the context of the books. Not a trace of modern nonsense. Hooray!

Author Reply: Thanks for the encouraging review. I'm so glad you enjoyed my story. I always felt that Arwen was set up for a fall in her relationship with Aragorn because all their relatives constantly send her the message that she's really too good for him, and he's extremely lucky to have her. While this might be true, from Aragorn's point of view, I felt Arwen had to move beyond such an attitude to the point where she would truly see losing Aragorn as a fate worse than death.
