Washed Clean  by Larner 5 Review(s)
Queen GaladrielReviewed Chapter: 9 on 5/11/2011
These are all lovely. Love the kitten! the birds in the puddle, and the talk of the lake. The symbolism of the river and the sea is very poignant.

you know, the further along these are, chronologically, in Frodo's stay in the West, the more poetic they become. Whether that was intentional or not, I don't know, as your style always seems to have poetic undertones no matter what you write. But it's wonderful too, and goes along with the changes you describe in him in your other stories.

So glad to see that Frodo finally found his healing.

Author Reply: As am I to imagine that it did, indeed, come to him as he so desperately needed when he left the Mortal Lands.

Beautiful ending!

And that's how it should be: A reunion with all his dear friends, all sorrows gone and an eternity to spend with his loved ones.

Thank you very much!

Author Reply: And I'm very glad that the series has done so well in your eyes, Andrea. Yes, sorrows gone, a life lived to fulfillment, a heart and spirit cleansed and refilled, and now eternity to anticipate in delight. Thank you so very much!

Really beautiful! Is that the last of it?

Author Reply: Yes, this is now the end of it. We were given five prompts to work with on Tolkien Weekly, and I've managed to add four more.

And I'm so glad you appreciate it, Armariel. Thank you so very much!

Hantanyel for this sweet gift! I have long wished for a present from you. :) Alas the muse did not come up with one to give to you all. This would be indeed be a joyful time for Frodo and Sam.

Namarie, God bless, Antane :)

Author Reply: You are very welcome, Antane. Thank you so very much!
