Bootsgrandma · 25 February 2018 · Chapter 5: Justice Dispensed

This is an excellent story. It is very well written with very engaging characters. Well done.

Teresa · 4 January 2018 · Chapter 999: Epilogue

Many thanks for another excellent story from Middle Earth! I enjoy them so much; and reread them as much as the original books. You and so many others have enhanced my love for Middle Earth over the years. I hope to see Norien, Andred, and the others again someday! I suspect that Aragorn and Arwen remembered Tiresse when they cared for those poisoned babies in Harad. I doubt that Tiresse will change, I think she is a sociopath. Take care, and as always may the muses (and plot bunnies!) be with you! :)

Kathleen Henning · 18 November 2017 · Chapter 6: Memories Shared

I loved the poem.

Andrea · 5 November 2017 · Chapter 999: Epilogue

What a wonderful ending! I love the idea of the Mallorn trees as a means of communication between the Travellers. On days like this day, distance and time does not matter - only the joy to be together again.

Andrea · 31 October 2017 · Chapter 6: Memories Shared

Andred felt certain that there was the ghost of a smile on the distant Ringbearer’s face at Captain Peregrin’s naming of their beloved King Can it be that the Ringbearer's face is mirroring Andred's feelings? That is fascinating! And I very much liked the poem Pippin wrote about Sarn Gebir - especially the last passage.

Tari · 24 October 2017 · Chapter 5: Justice Dispensed

Wonderful. I loved it.

Andrea · 22 October 2017 · Chapter 5: Justice Dispensed

That was a great chapter! And I agree with another reviewer that Norien's case turned out to be more intriguing than Andred's. What was revealed step by step about the true character of her sister was almost incredible. And her husband is willing to give her another chance, although she tried to kill him, too? Well, I wish him all the luck he can get.

spinster · 16 October 2017 · Chapter 99999: Author's Notes

I always enjoy your stories, and this one was a standout. I only intended to read the first chapter as a prelude to bed-time but one led to two and then just one more until it is 6AM and I have spent the spent the whole night reading your wonderfully crafted story. Thank you

Andrea · 14 October 2017 · Chapter 4: Reward and Punishment

Those two stories were very interesting and very different. I wonder where the ring is, though. I am not so sure that it remained in Maridorn's possession. I would not be surprised if its new "owner" was Cotsedain.

iboneki · 11 October 2017 · Chapter 999: Epilogue

Gorgeous, wonderful story. I love all of your work, but my favorites are always the ones set after the war. Just the way you flesh out the community with believable OCs and of course the characters we already know and love. Always so consistently well-written it feels utterly canonical, and frankly sticks in my brain that way. Thank you once again for the amazing work!

Andrea · 7 October 2017 · Chapter 3: On Business, Hobbits, and Business with Hobbits

Many mothers seek to clothe their smallest children as they imagine the Pheriannath dress when they are in their own land. Very nice. I like that idea, and very good for Andred and Gilriel as well! I hope that the hearing will be of more success than the one of Norien. That man is really a criminal. P.S.: My birthday is in April, too. So thank you very much for this chapter.

Walker-skye · 7 October 2017 · Chapter 99999: Author's Notes

I have stayed up way too late, enthralled by your story, and then touched by your notes. I'm a chaplain at an addictions treatment center, so the less than savory chracters in your tale ring, sadly, true. But so do those of honor! And justice was served! Your description of the cases before Aragorn held all the drama of a good courtroom show. A thoroughly enjoyable tale, that I hope leaves me with good dreams as I very belatedly head to bed! Thank you!

Freyalyn · 4 October 2017 · Chapter 99999: Author's Notes

Thank you for your extra words. I've really enjoyed this one.

Tari · 4 October 2017 · Chapter 4: Reward and Punishment

Thank you for writing this birthday chapter. I have been reading all the chapters and enjoying them thoroughly.

Andrea · 3 October 2017 · Chapter 2: A Quiet Talk

Being introduced to the monument of the hobbits and their deeds by Aragorn himself is a rare treat indeed. And that those lords who were ignorant of the needs of their people had to pay for the charity meals is perfect justice.

Andrea · 30 September 2017 · Chapter 1: Finding Succor

It seems I have completely missed the start of a very good story ;-) I am very impressed of the level of charity and the condition of for example the Rest House. But of course, we do not speak of any king and queen, we speak of Aragorn and Arwen! So I hope that Andred, after a very good meal, will find a suitable job in Minas Anor.

Freyalyn · 28 September 2017 · Chapter 999: Epilogue

Lovely story. I've enjoyed every word. Thank you for sharing it with us.

Antane · 27 September 2017 · Chapter 999: Epilogue

Love this ending and when the trees start to bloom and end and that the four hobbits are together at this moment, no matter how much distance physically separates them, they are together. Yea! Namarie, God bless, Antane :)

Matt · 27 September 2017 · Chapter 999: Epilogue

This, overall, is a very nice story. Outcomes are implied (aka the decision for your seamstress to stay in Minas Anor) which is unfortunate but understandable. Often your OCs are the best part of your stories and I'd encourage you to focus on them as much as you can in future work. Thanks loads for your hard work on this, looking forward to seeing what you do next.

KathyG · 27 September 2017 · Chapter 999: Epilogue

I love this ending! I think that Andred and her mother and friends should join them under that tree before returning to the Second Circle.

UTfrog · 27 September 2017 · Chapter 999: Epilogue

Lovely story. The epilogue was magnificent. Thank you so much.

KathyG · 24 September 2017 · Chapter 6: Memories Shared

I don't blame Andred for deciding to make a new life in Minas Tirith. It doesn't sound as if she had any true friends back in her home town, and she's already made some in the nation's capital.

UTfrog · 23 September 2017 · Chapter 5: Justice Dispensed

Great chapter. Thank you.

Matt · 23 September 2017 · Chapter 5: Justice Dispensed

Interesting chapters. I am unsure about the level of foregiveness offered amongst these families, to commit murder of one's father to achieve one's goals seems beyond unforegivable, particularly by a husband who was in the process of same. Still, the trials are very well written as is your tendency, and the scenes around them incredibly well drawn. Thanks for some interesting reading, curious to see what (if anything) you have planned next.

Freyalyn · 22 September 2017 · Chapter 5: Justice Dispensed

How intriguing - Norien's family's tale turns out to be much more interesting than Andred's. I love the way you explore the intricacies of Gondor under the King like this, and am so privileged that you share these tales with us. Thank you.
