| I love the characterization of Nellas here! Turin is so precious :.( | |

| Nicely done. Gwindor's situation is heartbreaking, isn't it? Have you read The Leithian Script: A Boy, a Girl, and a Dog? You might enjoy it: it reminds me somewhat of this story but tells one of the other great tales. | |

| I have already read all that you have posted so far, but I would greatly desire to read more of this. Orodreth is still not my favorite character no matter how many times people have written him their best sympathetic form. He is not innocent. He sent his own Uncle or brother whichever one you go by to his death. At least he could have said something to try and stop the Feanorians no matter how bleak the chance was they could win the people over. Finrod would not have let a reckless, rash, and rude mortal like Turin(no matter how much he likes the mortal men)take control of the largest realm in all Beleriand, especially since Fingon's realm has fallen, Gondolin is hidden, and Thingol is hiding behind his wife. If only Felagund had lived... Namarie! | |

| Impressive! Turin is a fascinating character, and you've brought him to life with this narration of him. Author Reply: I can not tell you how grateful I am for such praise. The purpose of writing this was to bring Turin to life, so I am glad that I succeeded. Nerdanel | |

| Now that I'm finally caught up to the current chapter...I find all constructive criticism has completely flown out of my head! So I'll just say that having long suffered the deplorable dearth of writings about Túrin, my favorite Tolkien character, I think I love you for this. :) | |

| You do an incredible job of writing out the Narn i Hin Hurin in screenplay format. You know, I personally think someone should make a movie out of it. It's really nice to see someone give Turin some attention for once. Really nice indeed. *smiles* Author Reply: Thank you, Saerwen! I agree, it is so sad that there is so little about Túrin. He is one of my favourite characters of all time. Thank you for your kind comments. Nerdanel | |

I've read Turin's tale in the Silmarillion, etc., but the way you write it brings it to life for me, and is very enjoyable! I read all 26 chapters within two days. LOL! This really is one of my favorites; Turin fictions are hard to come by, especially good ones! So all I can say now is: please, update this soon! ^_^ Author Reply: Hi, Aleeza! Thank you so much for the review! I am so glad this has brought the story of Túrin to life for you: that was my goal. One of my other goals was to bring to life Finduilas and her feelings. I think a lot of people don't understand her. I appreciate very much your kind words, and with that type of encouragement I will certainly continue:). I have actually finished the Nargothrond scenes but just need to type them out. I will soon, as soon as I finish my schoolwork! Nerdanel | |

| This is excellent. There are few stories on Turin, which is a shame because his story is one of my favourites. Reading his story in this format is fascinating. Well done :) Author Reply: Thank you! I agree, it's a shame there are so few stories on Turin. I'm glad you enjoyed this. I am enjoying writing it. | |

| Amazing!! This was so fantastic. You really are very talented. I'll have to read it all again to comment in a more helpful manner but seriously, this is such great work. You should be very proud! Author Reply: Thank you so much! It is not finished yet, and although I have completed the Nargothrond scenes (in my notebook) I have yet to type them out due to so much homework. I appreciate your comments very much. Thank you. | |
