Finally, it seems the strands of the story weave together to form the familiar ending. Even if parts were shuffled around with interesting and fascinating consequences. But I fear for Faramir. What was the thing he got from the Witchking? I hope it was not the Ring. That would jeopardize everything they have accomplished so far. What happened to Frodo and Sam, and Radagast anyway?

Author Reply: Glad you're enjoying things coming together. Hope the new chapter wraps things up a little more :) I'll probably post another tomorrow morning also. Enjoy- and thanks as always for the review ^_^

Your story is really great! I found it a few days ago and did little else but reading to catch up. I like the idea of Faramir going on the quest. I especially like your way of keeping important parts of the original storyline (like Eowyn defeating the witch king) and adapting them to the changed constellation in your fic. Very skillfully done! Can't wait for the next chapter!

Author Reply: welcome :) happy you've discovered the tale! It's so long now that it's quite a quest just to read all the way through to the latest chapter! Thanks so much for letting me know you've enjoyed it so far!

Hooray. Finally coming close to the ending of the war and the weaving together of the myriad tales you spun.

I love how you put words into mouths that did not speak them in the book. And yet they work perfectly and even resound with strength.

Nicely done.

Author Reply: Thanks :) Glad you're enjoying the dialogue, it's always tricky - preserving some of the lines from the book but switching things around a little was certainly what I hoped to do ^_^

Wow, I loved reading this years ago and hand't realized it had been updated so much until the other day. It's taken me all weekend to get caught up with it. I'm loving all the turns it's been taking though without making everything so convoluted that we miss the point of the original story. Looking forward to the next chapter.

Author Reply: So glad you found the story again after all these years :) Took me a long time to get back to it but I'm glad that it will finally be completed ^_^ Happy you enjoy all the twists and turns, I wasn't sure if it was too confusing - I certainly had trouble writing myself of the situation I'd created :p Hope you enjoy the next chapter!
