| Well-written as always. Faramir is becoming just a bit too comfy in the Mark. And Eowyn seems to want her "mannered prince" more than the sweetly oafish drunken wannabe-Eorling. < It's becoming harder and harder for me to see this story as a continuing narrative; because of the changes (though they improved the tale) to the early chapters and the length of time between updates. I wish you wouldn't update until you're at the point, in terms of inspiration and time, where you can follow one chapter with another within four or five weeks. The story doesn't flow smoothly for me anymore; though I'm sure it will if it is ever finished. I hope you will update again fairly soon. I enjoy the story and want to see it advance and eventually finish. | |

| I'm terribly involved in the story so far. I love it. Is there any way to get to Chapters 8-38? I can't stand the thought of missing so much as to pick up at 39 and I have already finished Chapter 7. | |

| My reviews have been short -- but truthfully -- I rarely even leave reviews. There are loads and loads of fanfic writers, but dear, you stand out from the crowd. What makes you stand out? 1) You've discovered your voice. If I had three samples of writing in front of me -- one of them yours -- I'd be able to pick yours out easily. 2) Whether consciously or unconsciously, you adhere to the secret of the great story. Character development is Plot. The choices a character makes determines the plot. 3) Foreshadowing and careful attention to detail. 4) The writer must know the hearts, minds and souls of the characters. Great storytellers employ all of these things and you are a GREAT STORYTELLER swimming in a sea of mediocre and lazy storytellers. So SoundofHorns, I admit to you that I might be a lazy reviewer but I'm not a lazy reader. I've appreciated every word you've written. Keep writing. There's an audience starving for this level of writing. Author Reply: I have no reply but Thank you! Thank you for reviewing and appreciating this story. | |

| This is without a doubt the best work I have ever read! This coming from someone who is very critical of what she reads, and who often goes over and over and over the things she liked best. Needless to say I've reread the chapters you posted over and over (more than seven times, actually, even when I was in the middle of exams and work combined! Even if it was three in the morning!!!) I can't really say what kept me from reviewing untill now; maybe the fact that I originally wanted to review each and every chapter - but everytime I began reading I got caught up in what was written and just went on to the next chapter eagerly, without taking the time to press the review link - apparently I'm not that committed to my decisions, after all :) But I figured I just have to review, because there are few other works that I've lost myself in with such delight and curiosity and admiration. I think each of the characters' change of heart was just brilliantly done! Every time I read this I went on searching for defining moments that would mark such delicate and subtle psychological changes - but I've found little obvious ones, all the more praise to the writer! And speaking of psychology - the thinking patterns and motivations that you found for every character simply blew me away! There was such wonderful logic behind every thought and feeling that the characters' every word rang true. Just wonderful! And, of course, the very style of the story, the use of the words themselves, and the way in which they flowed were lovely! The only tiny, little smidgen of a non-positive thing I ever come across was the abrupt change of the tone of voice used in the story from the revised chapters to the older ones - but since you probably already thought of taking care of that it might as well need no mentioning. Overall, and in not so many words, I loved every single bit of it! I can't thank you enough for sharing this! And, obviously, I can't stop myself from begging for more :) All the best! Author Reply: Thank you very much. I've been agonizing over the last chapters and trying very hard to get the feel of the characters correct. I apologize for the wait, but soon I will be able to write more. Thank you again for your review, you've made my week! | |

| A nice chapter - my favorite moment was when Faramir and Eowyn were making their way through a totally dark patch, and Eowyn flashed back on the darkness induced by the Black Breath, and she and Faramir shared that memory...Particularly since in a later chapter, Faramir said he had no memory of the time between being wounded and awakening in the Houses of Healing. Perhaps he does remember that horrible dark vale better than he'd like to think... I really do wish you'd go ahead with the other end of the story, though. | |

| There isn't a new chapter? You've just updated older chapters correct? I'm certain I read chapter 74 earlier. Author Reply: yes, i only had chapter 7 near completion. | |
