Hands of a Warrior by MP brennan	17 Review(s)

"The infirmary is no less crowded, but healers and attendants alike part ranks to let the lord pass." I think that is about as concise a description of the impact Aragorn has on people as any. The entire story was so well done, and the descriptive elements are topnotch. Thanks for letting me lend a bit of a hand. Author Reply: The hand was much appreciated! I'm glad you enjoyed the final product! -Brennan

Personally I have no problem with bastardising the book and film verses, mind you, my own stories bastardise it even further by throwing a character from Buffy the Vampire Slayer into the years after the Ring War, so I might not be the best person to give an opinion on this! However I think that you did it very well and I was able to relate to Léoma; recognising how she must feel. Author Reply: A Buffy character? Hmm . . . might have to read that . . . :-) Thanks for the review! I'm glad you liked Léoma. She just popped into my head one day and demanded to be written. And, she's a stubborn little bugger ;-)

I thoroughly enjoyed this piece, in particular the visual intensity of it. I chuckled at your comments at the end of each chapter, and encourage you in this one thing -since I can not pretend to improve your substantial talent in any way. You don't need to make excuses for your excellent work. It is yours, you have written it, and let it be. It shouldn't matter if you've blended movie and book, and the purists ought to forgive you, without a word being said, because of the candid delight interlaced with your words. I eagerly await the day you've completed another work. Author Reply: Thanks for the great review! Yeah, the self-deprecation may have been a bit much. Oh well. I'm working on some longer pieces. I hope you'll be patient as I sort out some issues with them. I should have one posted soon.

This is such a good tale... I really like your OC (not a hint of Mary Sue about her) and I love the imagery you weave into your stories. The description of Eowyn's hands I found especially moving. :) Author Reply: Glad you enjoyed it! :-) -Brennan

I liked this very much - your OC is really engaging and it's an interesting perspective on Eowyn! Author Reply: Thanks! Eowyn is one of my favorite characters, so I hope I did her justice. Chapter 2 is up! -Brennan

My mouth is dry. “My brother fights orcs tonight.” Her eyes seem far away. “So does mine.” (smile) Okay. That does it. You're one of my favorite writers... Lucky you, you'll get to hear me gush every time you post something. LOL. Well done, Brennan. Keep 'em comin'. ~Marethiel Author Reply: :) Thanks! I'll do my best. The conclusion to this fic should be up in a couple of days . . . a little gushing every once in a while is good for the constitution . . . -Brennan p.s. Much of the credit for the lines you quoted go to my lovely beta, cairistiona. The original version stopped a couple paragraphs before that. She pointed out that this was random and wierd and suggested a little more interaction and subtle bonding. I ruminated, and this was the result.
