Vows  by French Pony 5 Review(s)

WAiting at the airport I have finally found time to catch up with my reading..

I do love your faily interactions. And weddings seem to be part of your area of expertise! I loved the kitchen scene, but also the conversation with Seratur. and how you manage to make these elves like common mortales, engaged in family politics and so mundane tasks as writing wedding invitations.... And I did love the fact that Calime makes MAglor see that there is sense of pride elsewhere, beyond the royal family!

Now for the second chapter!

I finally had time to sit down and read this! The sons of Feanor! Like your story about Eol/Maeglin, this promises to be another story that shows us a different side of characters that we know as dark or cursed. I love the idea of seeing Maglor's wedding and seeing him in relationships like the one you showed with his betrothed's father as his tutor. It is so nice to see, and yet, of course, so tragic because we know his ultimate fate. I laughed at Seretur's reaction to Maglor being inspired by his daughter. That was great! And so was Feanor's reaction to the suggestion that he wear the Silmarils. Sad for Maglor to see him so ensnared already.

Well - I hope there is a wedding and it goes smoothly. I would like Maglor to have experienced some happiness before he gets spiked on the pike of his father's oath.

I'm not surprised Seretur had some doubts, though. Even now, Feanor is on the cusp of sanity. Although he's still just about holding on. (Now would have been a good time for a bit of Valar-driven intervention, really.)

Oh, I hate to see the obsession those Silmaril already have sparked in Feanor's heart. I only hope that this wedding day goes well, considering all the scope for mischief there is with all the estrangements and the fear for the great Jewels.

Wow, what a complicated family situation. It's actually reminiscent of current multiply divorced, remarried, and hostile families. Except these folks are powerful and can do real damage if they want to.
