From the Shadows  by jenolas 4 Review(s)
Agape4GondorReviewed Chapter: 15 on 5/5/2008
Loved the preparations and thought how right it was for the people of Gondor to welcome home their 'son' with joy and banners and song!

I cried 'Yeah!' when they began the 'Boromir' chant! *quiet sob of appreciation* *wishes I was there*

Aw'd at Boromir's exhaustion and yet his continuing on to touch the White Tree. So symbolic for all of Gondor... but especially her Numenorean sons and daughters.

I loved Elros' gentle support.

Oh - and I wrote 'Excellent' next to the silver trumpet paragraph - One cannot speak of Boromir without a silver trumpet somewhere near - and you wrote it exquisitely. And I loved that he couldn't open hi seyes till his brother spoke.

I loved the glimmer of mischief... ah, yes. He is recovering!

The next chapter will be difficult - I hope you can post it soon - for I much desire to see/hear/feel what Boromir does at the tomb. Oh - and I dearly hope that he takes Faramir with him??? Though perhaps his little brother isn't quite ready for that.

Excellent chapter!

A touching homecoming for Boromir.

Oh wow, jenolas, it's great to see you back!! If you don't mind, I'm going to wait and re-read the whole thing again when I can before leaving a review because it's been a while but I just wanted to let you know I'm still reading. I hope all is well and really, it's so good to see an update from you again :-)

Author Reply: Hi Dot,

it's wonderful to hear from you again. All is well at present and I hope to be able to update more often, I hate the thought of leaving a fic unfinished.

I hope you enjoy the fic when you read it again and I look forward to any comments you may wish to make.

regards

jenolas

I'm pleased that Boromir doesn't think badly of what happened to Denathor, as no one is perfect.

I also got a laugh out of Boromir and Aragorn's reaction to Haldir and elves and the knack for understatement.

Thank you for a wonderful update, and i look forward to reading more from you when you have the time.

Yes, Elves can be people of few words at times!

I think his own experience with the one ring would have given Boromir the ability to see that his father was not entirely himself in his last days.

Thanks for taking the time to review, I know it has been a long time between updates.
