Therefore, I Have Hope  by Emily 35 Review(s)
LiannaReviewed Chapter: 1 on 8/17/2004
Very interesting beginning. The idea that Legolas and Arwen would be a good couple is so blindingly obvious that there must be a good reason why it never happened. You seem to be coming up with a very convincing explanation. And I can't wait to see Legolas spar with Glorfindel.

Since you asked for constructive criticism, please allow me to make one exceedingly nitpicking point: millennia (note that it has two l's and two n's) is plural. The singular is millennium.

Author Reply: Nitpicking is wonderful! I'll mark that down. Thanks so much for reviewing!

This is wonderful! I always enjoy reading different takes on how Aragorn and Legolas meet, and this seems like a very entertaining and interesting one. I hope you continue it soon. :-)

I love the interaction between Legolas, Glorfindel, and the other Mirkwood warriors. Estel's interest in them is natural, I think. How embarrassing to have Elrond catch him sort of spying on them.

Author Reply: I wonder how hard it must have been for a human to grow up around Elves... he could just never win!

Chuckled a few (well, more than a few) times. Love the Elf banter.
Update sooner!

Author Reply: The banter was the hardest part for me. I'm glad you like it! Thanks for the review!

Hello! I am really enjoying what you have so far of this story... it is very well written and engaging. I especially enjoy the relationships you have built between the elves of Imladris and Legolas. Also, I like your OC Aerhos! Ha! He entertains me.
Anyway, I am eagerly anticipating your next chapter!

Just out of curiosity, how old is your Legolas in this story? Everyone has different ideas on how old he is!

Author Reply: Hi! Thanks for reviewing. I'm glad you like Aerhos. I was worried that he would be too typical of OC Elves.

The age I'm going with is the movie-age. I tend to agree with a younger Legolas, but for this story I didn't feel that a 500-something age worked. And since Tolkien never says, I can't be wrong!
