Vows  by French Pony 7 Review(s)

Well, if you put it htat way it was a terrible sucession of events fro mAcalaure, and now he nds up being king while he doesn´t know whether his brother lives or not. You have a way of showing the family side of every event that it makes me chuckle, as I were seeing them in slippers, after the day´s chapter is done. THe vengeful sons´of FEanor singing that song together has something of those moments of unexpected, unplanned silliness (in a good sense)into which we all indulge from time to time.

Just getting time for reading...

Holy Cow! The battle between Feanor and the balrogs was really well done and his death! Everytime I read how he spent his last moments in this world all I can think is how tragic and what a waste. That must have been a difficult scene to write and you did a great job with it. The whole of this chapter must have been difficult to write--so heavy with grief. The ending, therefore, was perfect. The song was perfect there--an attempt at normality, hope, lightness. It was the saddest part of all to me, really. Great chapter.

I was able to print out these first five chapters and read them all last night. I had wondered how far into his life you were going to take this and felt horrid when I realized you were going to take your readers through the curse and the oath... not happy about that - but so well written that I must continue to read - IMHO this is the blackest spot in Elvish history!

Feanor - such a selfish ... person. Maedhros - what a mug. Maglor - yet more being dumped on him. They are all in such a trap, with nowhere to go but down.

They now realize that Morgoth is indeed the father of lies, and will learn all too soon that Sauron, as his second, will be the same.

Liars both, and served by the Balrogs.

The "Whoop whoop whoop" song! *happy dance* What a way to end this chapter!

The leadership of the Noldor has just crumbled, hasn't it? You show it all happening so fast, with no time to adjust...very well done!

What an incredibly bleak life and what a contrast to the life they once had.
