| Elena Tiriel recommended this story to me, and I'm so glad she did - it's simply gorgeous. I almost don't know where to begin to praise it, as there's so much to admire. The "voice" of your point of view character is perfect:- the expressions he uses and the attitudes he displays, such as his acceptance of casual racism and homophobia and yet his slight unease with it. I'm also very impressed by the way you so lightly use the historical facts in the telling of the tale, letting them emerge naturally from Lightoller's perspective, while weaving in the Tolkien mythology as naturally and seamlessly as if it is also part of history. And your writing itself generally is so tight, crisp and effective: every word, every sentence seems carefully weighed and nothing is wasted or awkward or out of place. In short - this is a marvellous piece. Thank you for gifting us with your talent. |
