That was sooooo good! You had me biting my nails because of the suspence. The whole palantir thing was really creative i loved it haha and it was so funny how the hobbits kept pranking each other it was great!!!! thanks

Love it, love it! Oh, that's great! LOL! Oh, Budgie, however did you come up with such a thing as that stone?! *shudders* Very creative, and effective too, but if I were Merry I'd have nightmares about that for the rest of my life. I'm continuing to enjoy this series. God bless,
Galadriel

Well now...I was just looking for something quick to read but I ended up reading all of this and I enjoyed it a lot. I especially liked the idea of the lesser seeing stones being created. It seems to fit so well - well done!

Really enjoyed this tale. Only wish I'd been paying attention and read them in order... sigh.

The humor and horror are both handled really well. I don't know how you ever came up with the idea of a shattered, evil palantir and how it could reconstitute itself, but that was really well done and squicked me good.

But the best things are the characterization of the members of the Fellowship, and the ability of the hobbits to be playful even when frightened. Thanks so much.

Author Reply: Hi Laura. Thank you so much for your review. I appreciate you telling me how much you enjoyed the story, and especially I appreciate you telling me what you enjoyed about the story. Things like that really help when I sit down to develop a new one. (The palantir squicked me too - the idea came the first time I saw it in the movie ... what if it broke?...)
