Shadow and Thought  by Linda Hoyland 3 Review(s)

Oooh, I loved the way you expanded the sweet A/A scene (as you know very well, A/A is my favorite thing). It's funny to read this again now in the light of the sequels, since I know all the details of how the baby Arwen whose existence Arwen has just revealed is born.

Author Reply: Many thanks for your much appreciated review.I feel I know A/A much better now and felt confident to write a little more about them.It must have been so wonderful for them when they finally became parents after so long.

Even on re-reading, Faramir and Aragorn's torture always gets to me, especially the part where Fara remembers when Denethor tried to burn him alive.

For my part, I never think your stories go above PG13. I'm pretty liberal-minded, but I have never found them to cross the line into what I consider R territory. Not like I'd stop reading them if you did!

I have included my email, I never realized that I never left it in a review on that other site. I am very lazy about logging-in and leaving "signed" reviews over there.

Author Reply: I found the torture scenes hard to write both here and in Faramir's prison scene as I am fond of my characters ! I toned it down here a little.I'm honoured you should re read the story
Thanks for your thoughts on the ratings and your e mail which I have put in my book.There have been times I have wanted to contact you over some interesting point you have raised.

Oh this was - well I won't say fun exactly - but gripping enough for me to sneak of and read the whole thing. And the sequel . . . only to find it wasn't yet finished!

Very enjoyable way to spend a grey day.

Author Reply: Thank you so much for your kind review.I'm delighted you found it gripping .The characters rarely have fun in my tales, I fear !
I hope the sequel will be finished by around the endof the month.
