Catastrophe  by Linda Hoyland 6 Review(s)
Lily BagginsReviewed Chapter: 1 on 5/7/2012
Oh, Linda, I have been meaning to review this and life has just gotten away from me. But---this weekend I have caught up on my reading some and this is just an awesome h/c story!

Wow---such lovely details. And eek---what a horrible thing to happen to Aragorn... I don't think I've read of him suffering from these particular injuries before, and I'm loving it. Yep. And I'm a sucker for Aragorn in pain and groaning and yet trying to be stoic, and this is perfection here.

On to the next chapter for me---can't wait!

Well, it could have been orcs, I suppose. A very serious situation; and a good setup for the story. Wild animals are pretty and necessary to the ecology, but they can be dangerous; and the lynx' power and ferocity is brought home here.

Author Reply: Many thanks for your much appreciated review.It is indeed a serious situation.

The title is certainly perfect for this story! Alas that our beloved Aragorn should be so seriously hurt, and have so little left of his healing supplies to allow for proper treatment. Now, to get him back to Eowyn's care!

Great start. Although, a large cat like the one they met would probably roar or growl before it attacked. And a cat attacking two fully grown men with sharp weapons is very very unlikely,even if they invaded it's territory. Also, the foals would have kicked the cat and left some bruises. Even if they are foals. Equine (horse) nature. Other then that, great story so far!!

Author Reply: Many thanks for your much appreciated review.. I fear I'm only familiar with domestic cats and I didn't intend the lynx to be a normal example of the species. The foals might well have injured it.

I'm pleased you are enjoying the story.

A most enjoyable first chapter. Aragorn was lucky to have Faramir by him.

Author Reply: Thank you. It was indeed lucky that the two were together.
