| Luthien Tinuviel by Endaewen | 23 Review(s) |
|---|---|
| Larner | Reviewed Chapter: 13 on 2/23/2007 |
| In the end Beleriand knew its end, but the remnant that survived carried with them the great tale of undreamt achievement and awe-filled love and endurance. The uttering of Feanor's oath was so great and horrible a deed.... Author Reply: It was. But it brought both hope and tragedy. Hope that turned to tragedy. Thanks for reading. | |

| Indeed foresight the Queen of the Hidden Land has shown, and by one who will lose almost as much as have her daughter and her beloved. Author Reply: I wonder though, if Melian would have met him again in Valinor and the Halls of Mandos. Some of the HoME suggest that that would have been possible. | |

| I love this look at the two of them from Melian's point of view. That she recognizes her husband's folly is wonderful. That she sees both the grief and the joy her daughter and her beloved know is even more precious. Author Reply: Thanks for reading. I'm really glad you liked it. | |

| And so that former hero also fought the nightmare images he'd faced, and the terrors brought by being seen as the primary threat at the moment by the Enemy. Author Reply: Being seen as the primary threat like that might be thought of as a perverse sort of honour though. Thanks for reading. | |

| Definitely a dilemma Beren finds himself caught in; yet love is always perilous, and great love even more so. Author Reply: Yes, and it makes for great tales. Thanks for reading. | |

| The unbreakable oath has to be one of the most wonderful and terrible truths to haunt Arda; and the sons of Feanor ought not to have caught themselves in that of their by then obsessed father. Author Reply: No they shouldn't have. It was both wonderful and terrible. Wonderful because they brought hope and knowledge to Beleriand, improving the lives of the Edain and the Sindar. Terrible because they themeselves managed to destroy so much of what they helped create and protect. | |
| Larner | Reviewed Chapter: 6 on 2/23/2007 |
| It appears that the Silmaril tended to bring out the worst in everyone, and having passed through Morgoth's keeping kept a curse of destruction about it that tended to bring death to all who coveted it. Author Reply: But was that a curse, or was it just the oath. I'd say the curse WAS the oath. Thanks for reading and reviewing. | |

| Sometimes hope is all we have, and for Luthien to know it came somehow through her son must have been one bright spark in an otherwise dark foreseeable future. Author Reply: Agreed. Thanks for reading. | |

| Oh, I would think so. And Melian would have been very aware of the seeming of Melkor. I would think it would haunt the nightmares of anyone. Author Reply: Thanks for the review, and thanks for reading. | |

| The man's raw story holds the elves spellbound. Hard times, really hard times. The First Age seems so raw. Lovely work! Author Reply: Thank you so much for the lovely review. | |
