| This has been an absolute pleasure to read. Stylistically beautiful prose, yet not overly 'purple' to the point of distraction. You capture the tone and feel of Tolkien's Middle-earth better than almost any of the works I have read. You have clearly done extensive research into the Saxon traditions and incorporated them wonderfully. Each character depiction remains a clear image imprinted on my brain, and I feel this is going to be a story that I never forget. Congratulations on a superb tale. I wish you success in your future endeavours. | |

| Thankns for an awesome wrap to this excellent story. I will definitely be looking forward to "Frozen Flower" whenever it begins to post. A very happy holiday season to you. Author Reply: I'm glad you enjoyed the story. :) "Frozen Flower" will have to wait until I've pushed forward some of my other never-ending WIPs, but it will come eventually, I promise. | |

| What an excellent Christmas gift - thank you. I have really enjoyed this tale, and look forward to reading more of Imogen's story when it is ready. Author Reply: Thank you. :) This was one of my pet projects, which took me at least five times longer than originally planned, so I'm really, really happy that it's reached its final goal. | |

| I'm so glad that Imogen is fitting in well and that her health is improving. A most enjoyable chapter. | |

| Well that went pretty well... thank goodness. And good news about her health, too. Author Reply: Thank you. Now on to the big, fat wedding! | |

| Ah, a far simpler solution to the sickness than I'd thought you'd take and all the more fair because it is probably as legitimate as anything I would have thought about. Definitely looking forward to further chapters as always and thankful for your hard work on this one. Author Reply: Thank you. It's my hope that I might finish this tale with the next chapter - after all these years, it's more than overdue. :) | |

| Yes! Great chapter even though it necessarily moved slowly--since the traveling party was doing so too. You still get some good information in there and leave a nice little bump (not really a cliffy) at the end. Definitely looking forawrd to the next chapter and thankful for your hard work on this one. Author Reply: Oh, sorry, I forgot to reply to your kind review. I'm glad you liked the chapter, despite the slowness. *g* | |

| How clever the women were to escape! I was sorry to see Strider leave. i think Imogen should have warned Elfhelm sooner that she may not be able to have children. A most interesting and vivid chapter. Author Reply: Yeah, it's a shame that Strider left, but he had to get Gollum, so he couldn't dawdle any longer. As for Imogen, the fact that the shieldmaidens use contraceptives is a known one in Rhún. She simply didn't think that Elfhelm might not know. | |

| Good for Hemma and Birgid - although I do hope their decision doesn't create problems in the future. I was quietly confident that Aragorn would be able to heal Imogen - seems I had guessed wrong! Which is always good for the reader when the writer has twists and turns that throw us off the scent. And this is so not a good place for them to be that I can't see them getting to the moment of truth with Elfhelm's father without further adventure. Author Reply: Actually, they will, which is a good thing. Elfhelm will need all his wits about him when facing his father. *g* Thank you for reading and reviewing, it's much appreciated. | |

| What a great story. So, Beorning ancestress! This was amusing. As a cautious Aragorn fan I appreciate how rude he appears in the scene with norna. It is credible, somehow, that a chameleon ranger snaps once in a while, especially knowing that he can't really deceive the wisard(ess?). | |
