I thought this story scanned beautifully. It was sensitively and thoughtfully observed from a strong PoV. And, it was moving without straining for my tears. The tone of the writing seemed well-matched to that of Aragorn's -- modest, restrained; but with a turn for the poetic and lyrical, but kept within a plain style. Some of the images will stick with me, I'm sure. I am thinking esp. of Aragorn's memory of Frodo standing in the gap of Rohan, before they part ways each to his own doom.

Thank you, Ariel, for this fine and satisfying work!
