I've always loved the hints of Frodo's own prescience. Am looking forward to reading on.

Based on this first chapter, I am eager anticipating what will come. This has been set up nicely, with a good deal of tension as to what Gandalf, at least, will face when he reports to the Valar. Your style is well-written and paced, and I am sure I will enjoy the rest of the story as you post it.

Author Reply: And I hope you do enjoy them, FantasyFan. Thank you for reviewing!

Oh I cannot tell you just how delighted I am to see this story on SOA. I read it a couple of years ago in pdf format on your site and it held me in thrall, so much so that I am now re-reading it here!

Yours is by far one of the best tellings of the story beyond the actual War of the Ring. I cannot recommend it more highly than that.

Author Reply: And I thank you, Shemyaza. This version is slightly different from the old PDFs (mostly continuity things, but I found I had to change "Endor" to "Endorë" because too many people thought I was talking about the Star Wars Ewok planet *sigh*). I hope you enjoy your second reading as much as the first. :)

Years ago, I found this story on your website and I loved it from the very beginning, especially the long conversations between Gandalf and Frodo. They inspired me to read much more of Tolkiens work to learn about the universe of LotR. Thank you for that.
I am so glad that you post your work now on “Stories of Arda”, because I still hope that you will finish another story too, taking place after the events of “I Entulesse”. And I hope for many inspiring reviews that will encourage you to write again.


Author Reply: Thanks, Ainu-Yavanna. I am writing again, thank Eru, and will be posting more things here as well as on my own site as I slowly complete them. Part of the reason I want to start putting my stories here at SoA (aside from my respect for the archive in general) was the hope that in an active community, the interaction with readers would encourage my writer's block to loosen and start flowing again. After one day, I think it's working! Thanks for your help!
