Haven't reviewed in a while. Just wanted to say I am really enjoying this, especially the game Legolas is playing. You are killing me with the suspense. I hope Thranduil is too tempted this time.

I can't believe I haven't reviewed this yet. I love it. Great descriptions and a great plot. I like the way you present the characters. Elrond is great. Very much the way I picture him from reading Hobbit and LotR.

I think the explanation of why Denethor thought the way he did was very believable. I can certainly understand his beliefs. From a strictly Tolkien point of view, I like this.

I'm not certain what you mean in the author's note though about this story's relation to current US foreign politics--afterall, Boromir (the favored son) wanted to use the Ring and Denethor went mad. It seems Faramir was the son that triumphed. So does that mean that Denethor's view that either we die or they die is good or bad since the holder of that belief went mad? And what does that say about current US foreign policy and those that think it's us or them? Is that the connection?

It's interesting to contemplate, in any case.

Interrupted Journeys: Part Two--Journeys Perforce · Wed Nov 10, 2004 6:01 pm

Haven't reviewed in a while so I thought I would--I like the interaction with both Thranduil meeting the wizards for the first time and the meeting with the Dwarves. Both were done very well. I hope there is more of the wizards and the dwarves coming up and I am looking forward to seeing how the surprise visit from the men fits into all of this. I have thought this was a good explanation/exploration of all the factors involved in moving to the caves. It will be interesting to see how the OC's romance ends up. Doesn't look good from my perspective.

I like the description of the Elvenking's Halls and her reaction to them. Continuing to enjoy the story with anticipation!

I liked Thranduil's first meeting with Gandalf. I hope you continue to include Radagast with a bigger part. I like that wizard though he got little air time.

The steamy, deliciousness continues. I love the way she tempts hims and he tries to resist. I can hardly wait until he falls. Update soon.

I like the conversation with Thranduil and the villagers and his advisors. There is not a lot he can do that would make them all happy but he handles it as well as he can and shows himself to be a good king. His brother and his soon-to-be-betrothed might want to try to understand each other as well as Thranduil and his wife seem to. Those two couples make an interesting contrast. One can only assume that is leading somewhere.

I must admit that I am drooling a little at the idea of riding a horse pressed against Thranduil's chest. I really like that image. He could not have missed the tension that created in her. This slow dance is sooo delicious. Update soon.

Wow! I'm glad everyone is safe. I am dying to see how the fire was set and how Thranduil is going to react when he finds out where Cella was. Update soon.
