| Where do I start? Sheraiah, this story is AMAZING! You must know that the "only" reason I started this story was because I was going to read The Conversation and you said I'd be lost if I didn't read this one first. THANK YOU! :) I want to comment on all the little nuiances in the story, but having devoured the first 17 chapters in 2 days, I find I'm 'forgetting' little parts! Grr! This is what happens when you read at work and then forget to review at home! :( Your characters are so well written Sheraiah: I love love love love love Thranduil's watchfullnes over his injured son, and his banter with Elrond. He is such a concerned and doting father; I like seeing this Thranduil a lot. I like that Haldir's there, and Glorfindel as well. And Estel's concern for Legolas... so touching! I like the youthfulness you've written in both Estel and Leggy. It's very fitting and well done. But above all else let me just say that I love your Legolas. I'm having a bit of trouble figuring out how old he is though, given that Estel is there and appears very young himself. Elf and Numeneorian aging confuses me anyways, but I like the "younger" Leggy here. I'm guessing this must have been 30-40ish years prior to LOTR? Whatever.. I digress. Your angst is gripping and I'm an angsty kinda gal. Father to son, friend to friend ("adult" elves and "young" elves)... you've got it nailed. And then there's Lilia. What a dolly! I like that she's so taken with Leggy and how she eases his pain and distracts him from his father's illness. I hope there's more of her impishness before all's said and done! | |
