The Steward's Blessing  by Linda Hoyland 3 Review(s)
LarnerReviewed Chapter: 1 on 4/7/2014
Again, a worthy gift from one of great worth to another, and a further blessing not only upon the Steward of Gondor, but upon Gondor itself, in which both Numenor and the Wood are now represented. And I rejoice that Yavanna chose to bless Faramir's faithfulness and honor in this manner.

Oh, that was lovely and unexpected!

Faramir sounds very much in character, and his humility, as you show, does him credit.

When Elessar beheld the mallorn, I was sadly reminded of the quote that I think was set when he left Lothlorien, "and came there never again as a living man." I could be wrong, though. My copy of LOTR has been packed away in a box and I haven't been able to find it yet.

Author Reply: Thank you so much. I'm pleased you liked my portrayal of Faramir. You are spot on with the quote. I often think it means that Aragorn and Arwen were reunited in spirit there at Lothlorien

What a lovely thought that Sam would send Faramir the fruit, and what an even more lovely thought that Yavanna would ensure that there will be a mallorn in Ithilien.

Author Reply: Many thanks for your much appreciated review. I'm pleased you liked the addition of Yavanna to the story. The gift from Sam was Shirebound's idea.
