I Entulessė (The Return)  by MJ 3 Review(s)

Most interesting that you have both Cirdan and Glorfindel as part of the voyagers! Love the greeting by Ereinion Gil-galad, and the second by Eonwe himself! Now--to see the meeting in the Ring of Doom.

Lovely descripton of the towers and city, and enlivened with just enough hobbit pertness to be grounded. Same as Elrond's observations about Gil-galad: he's instantly become a person, not just a name.

I'm glad to see Cirdan get some recognition for his part as a ringbearer. I think often he is forgotten, in the background building his ships. *nods* He should not be.

An interesting discussion in this chapter of the tension between loss and reward, between pain and celebration of the job completed. I assume this is building to the meeting with the Valar.

Author Reply: You assume correctly. And I share your feelings about Cirdan -- which is why I wrote another short story which I'll post here soon. First things first!

Oh my, what a splendid tale! I don't have time this evening for more than two chapters, but I'm thoroughly enjoying this. My compliments to your imagining of this event, and how everyone, from Vala to hobbit, may have experienced it.
