It would be easy to just respond with a "ditto for me" as I agree with everything said by MissMoomin. I find it hard to believe that there aren't more reviews of your work. Of course, I have to take some of the blame for that myself; I've just discovered and read through all of the Alexandra/Legolas stories as I was thoroughly hooked. Like the Energizer Bunny I kept going and going until I was done.

I hope that you haven't been discouraged by the lack of responses and that your muse still has a few stories to go before their tale is completed. I would love to see Lastharos find himself in The Halls of Waiting. And poor Orophin needs to find that special one that is meant for him; he has seen the strength of Legolas' and Alexandra's bond and he needs one for himself. I hate to see his heartbreak-it seems obvious to all of the elves except those involved.

Bema, I'm joining the Too Lazy to Review Club, too. I look forward to every new chapter and the twists and turns advancing the relationship between Eomer and Lothiriel. I have no suggestions to improve your writing - I think you're doing just fine. Keep it up!

Ouch! I felt the pain in their parting at the end of Chapter 6. The hell with Gondorian propriety - your Lothiriel will fit in quite nicely in Rohan!

Short, long, whatever. Just keep those chapters coming. Please.

Your story has been a most enjoyable diversion from RL. Your characterizations of Lothiriel and Eomer are very fleshed out; it's amazing how much we learn by their conversations and actions - not to mention Lothiriel's saucy inner voice. Eomer truly appreciates her for her intellience as well as her beauty. Eowyn and Faramir had it right when they said that Lothiriel was repressed and that Eomer and Rohan would be good for her; she's not even Queen yet and she's defying her father and silly Gondorian customs left and right. And now we can see how good she will be for the people. Throw in a 'real man' like Eomer and Duty doesn't look so bad. For someone who is underappreciated by her own kin, Lothiriel certainly knows how to earn the respect of the staff (always agree advice given by the senior servants) and how to help Eomer with his rule. Brava!

Say it isn't so; say that you were so excited to have copmpleted and posted another chapter that The End was just an impulsive reflex.

This new chapter was a most welcome treat on the heels of the computer troubles that I have had this past week. But my week pales to what Danimir has suffered. I was glad to see Eowyn's temper soften in light of her brother's own but Danimir just doesn't seem to be learning obedience, no matter how sore his behind is. His residual fright in the cave after the evening of fireside stories, along with his earlier ill-fated chase of the boar, reinforces that he is not yet a man and still has much to learn from our favorite Horselord. Surely there is more.

And now with chapter 6, with get the playful Eomer to contrast with the disciplinarian king who must be obayed. I enjoyed your description of Dan suffering through lessons after the first snowfall. Been there, done that. I could almost hear a timepiece ticking away in the heavy silence (if they had timepieces in ME). LOL!

Eowyn's character was also expanded and we were allowed to see the softer side of the only woman who the king fears.

And Lord Danimir. It had looked as if he were maturing and learning life's lessons the hard way; like a typical boy in our world, it's 2 steps forward and one step back, proven when Dan decided that the pain was worth the fun that he had that day.

Given his previous life in Gondor with Denethor, I'd want to stay in Rohan, too. If he stays, he'll turn into a fine young Horse Lord. Keep up the good work!

Love is a Fallacy · Tue Aug 09, 2005 12:21 pm

Shorter chapters and more frequent or longer chapters and less frequent. Hmmmm. That's a tough one. I vote for whatever combination keeps you on course and keeps your muse happy. The plot is thickening and the firstborn aren't firstborn anymore, powers need to be discovered and developed, Raveyn needs some manners and Legolas needs a slice of humble pie. So much to do; don't keep us on the edge of our seats for long. More, pretty please. Wink smiley face

I've just re-read the comments and first chapter of your revised story. Purity has been bookmarked by me since the end of March. I hope that Spring Break was indeed good for your muse and now that the lazy days of summer (and sitting in air-conditioned comfort in front of the computer) are upon us, that you will continue posting your revised chapters. I've been looking forward to a little Legomance this summer!

The plot thickens....will Legolas meet his intended Arianel in the next chapter? I'm looking forward to finding out!

Thanks for updating this story, and for showing a more compassionate side to Eomer. I giggled with embarassment for him after the boathouse incident; after 'the talk' Danimir will be going back to Gondor a more knowledgable 14 year old. Although it did slip that he was finding the Golden Hall to feel more like home than life with the Stweard ever had - was that a hint of things to come?!
