And Then There Were None by Estel_Mi_Olor
mystarlight · 26 August 2018 · Chapter 13: And Then There Were None
I love everything about this story plot characters dialogues. I was mesmerized from the beginning to the end of the story. Can't wait for Battle of the Five Armies from Elvish point of view. Thank you so much for your WONDERFUL story.
mystarlight · 26 August 2018 · Chapter 12: Feasting
Love the atmosphere of feast and celebration. I would be happy to read more about Thranduil's wife. Memories about Oropher were a great idea.
mystarlight · 26 August 2018 · Chapter 11: The King's Wrath
I am so enthralled by welcome Elves gave to their king. Thranduil in his wrath is intimidating! Love the moment when his sons pledged him their loyalty once again. Rochiron as a second commander of the army is awesome idea. He is so modest that he even dared think about it.
mystarlight · 26 August 2018 · Chapter 10: Back Again
I am so happy about the sequel. This story ends too fast. You are a great writer.
mystarlight · 26 August 2018 · Chapter 9: Death's Twilight Kingdom
Really emotional chapter. Esgaldir's death saying goodbye to the fallen. I am happy you still didn't let Rochiron die. Thank you!
mystarlight · 26 August 2018 · Chapter 8: The Rescue
Rochirron is alive! I love Thranduil's bond with his realm his anxiety and dreams suggesting that something is wrong. Wonderful battle scenes which made me hold my breath.
mystarlight · 26 August 2018 · Chapter 7: The Snare
absolutely love stars talking to Thranduil about past ages. Great description of the shadow crept silently and taking over the Greenwood and souls of the Elves. Lots of emotions when part of patrol was found. I am mesmerized by your story!
mystarlight · 26 August 2018 · Chapter 6: By the Stars Above
Troubles appeared when Thranduil has left. Sons of Thranduil have got a great sense of duty. Love the story of the sword and possible consequences that run through the king's mind. Wonderful story!
mystarlight · 26 August 2018 · Chapter 5: Caught in the Tide
Great chapter! The capture of dwarves from Elvish point of view. I really enjoy reading about Elves and their skills. Love that captain listens all opinions before making his mind. Thank you for your story.
mystarlight · 26 August 2018 · Chapter 4: The Hunter and the Hunted
I love your portrayal of Thranduil and his bond with the children.
mystarlight · 26 August 2018 · Chapter 2: A Song Amidst Cobwebs
Splendid battle scenes! They made me hold breath. Thank you
mystarlight · 26 August 2018 · Chapter 1: Decisions
I really enjoy your story thank you for writing and sharing.

So, the mystery remains. Poor Thranduil, I think if he would be left in peace for a while he would figure it out, but alas he has no peace and quiet and his mind is already on his march on Dol Guldur. I think this is a good stopping point. The scene is now changing away from the King's Halls and you set out to write the escape from the Dwarves from the viewpoint of the elves.
obsidianj · 1 February 2015 · Chapter 12: Feasting
And so the elves themselves help the dwarves escape. Thranduil's plan sounds intriguing. Too bad that we will never know Thorin's answer.
obsidianj · 1 February 2015 · Chapter 11: The King's Wrath
And so it begins. Thranduil is back and can take over again. I think his subjects are glad. His sons are no substitute as of yet.
obsidianj · 1 February 2015 · Chapter 10: Back Again
Whew! Legolas made it back in one piece and it seems not too soon. The brothers still have much to learn about governing a realm.
obsidianj · 27 January 2015 · Chapter 5: Caught in the Tide
Oh, boy the tension mounts. As soon as Thranduil is away, the brothers are put to the test. The quarrel between the brothers is worrisome, but at least they were able to put their disagreement aside and work together.
obsidianj · 27 January 2015 · Chapter 4: The Hunter and the Hunted
As I said before, I love the family dynamics. You paint a very believable Thranduil and I love his relationship with his sons and daughter. So, Legolas counted 13 dwarves and now there are 12? I guess Bilbo is the "missing" dwarf ;-).
obsidianj · 27 January 2015 · Chapter 3: Grave Matters
As always the family dynamic is delightful. It gives the story so much more depth.
obsidianj · 27 January 2015 · Chapter 2: A Song Amidst Cobwebs
Oh, I love this, especially the dynamic between the brothers. This Attercop song is inane and I can't blame Legolas for developing a headache when thinking about it. Girithron is also excused for thinking his brothers lost their mind.
obsidianj · 27 January 2015 · Chapter 1: Decisions
I finally have time to read this. I love the rich background you created for this incident. Thranduil and his children, the explanation for the elves merry-making in the forest and not noticing the dwarves. Elflings, why hadn't I thought of that?
Al · 24 October 2014 · Chapter 2: A Song Amidst Cobwebs
Interesting story so far! I like Legolas' siblings, and that the king has more reason for locking up Thorin. Nits to pick: spiders don't sting (bees sting, using modified ovipositors - needles on their butts which fertile females use to deposit eggs - equipped with venom sacs) Spiders bite, using chelicerae (jaws) tipped with hollow fangs, also with venom glands. Sorry to be pedantic.

Thoroughly enjoyed the battle scenes in this chapter, Estel! The action moved along quickly and was filled with unexpected circumstances to keep my attention focussed on the events at hand. I liked the introduction of a strange and unidentified character with his clever song! I also liked the way you worked in greater numbers of elves, yet more original characters for me to hopefully see more of in the coming pages. All in all, another nicely written chapter! :-)
endorearwen · 19 December 2013 · Chapter 1: Decisions
Wonderful opening chapter, Estel! Your characterization of Thranduil is spot on in my opinion and I love the children you've created to surround him! You've done a great job of presenting the Elvenking's strategic thinking and decision making processes - I'm always impressed when writers can do that. I'm very interested in your original characters and am looking forward to reading more about their individual situations, which I hope will play out in the coming pages. Nice job! :-)

And a review you shall have! Excellent work - very good study of the confusion of the elves.
