And she has her first meeting with a Hobbit, and gets her dress wet with tears.

A worthy healer indeed is Miriel.

Great story, I am really enjoying reading it. Poor Tarannon, he is not having a good week. One day he good to his job, the next thing he is in prison, branded, escaped and now sick. Looking forward to more.

Um, sorry, I sent the last review before I could check my facts; it's been awhile since I actually read the book. *embarrassed smile* oops. I'll have to go see if I have things straight…

I enjoyed what I've read so far, Clever Hobbit. A fun idea to base a story on; I've always liked that section in ROTK where Aragorn pardons the soldier who defied Denathor and thus helped save Faramir from the pyre, so this tale attracted my attention as well.

You do a good job making Tarannon sympathetic. I felt sorry for the guy. He's lucky they didn't brand him on the forehead. :P Wouldn't it be possible to wear a bandage around his hand all the time, or a glove to hide the scar?

I skimmed some sections in the last two chapters after you switched from Tarannon's point of view; I'll come back and read more (in depth, heh) later.

As for constructive criticism, plot-wise and content wise so far I don't have any major complaints. At times the writing style and comments or phrases sound a little too modern for Middle Earth, lol, (for example: "kicking into healer mode" ) but I don't have time to do a full critique at the moment. (If I have time later, I'll try and come back and give you more detailed feedback.)

Anyway, I like it so far, look forward to more.

Just came across this story and its really interesting and original,to make such a good story out of such a small part of the story of The Lord of The Rings is really creative I love it do go on!
