Wow! Oh wow! YAY! (eloquent, aren't I  ) Now, after this evidence of my fangirlishness, I can sit back and think about a proper review.
Where to start? Well, Morwen has gotten herself into trouble, hasn't she? Spying around Meduseld isn't a very safe task. But well, she did quite ok until she stumbled upon Boromir and the shadows of her past along with him. What an interesting idea to bring the Captain to the stage just now, I can tell you. And you've done him justice, I think. He's straightforward, mouthy, arrogant and demanding but also charming in that irresistible way that makes it impossible to avert one's eyes from him. And I loved his friendly banter with Theodred and then Eowyn. By the way, Eowyn is my next favorite in this story. Poor lass; not only women's problems suck, but she's just constantly followed by Grima's greedy eyes.
The plot thickens. I love just how the story changes in atmosphere, from horrors and danger when you tell us about the brutality of the life in the Riddermark at the dark time, the lighter tone of Morwen's chatter with the servants and her intimate moment with Gamling, up to the final when she danced. And how she handled the situation was just awwww, risky but effective.
This is a really amazing, fabulous, awesome and captivating piece, Neu. I sweep and deep bow and my hat's off to you, young lady. I would say stop having doubts, but I think you've already seen that this chapter flows wonderfully and is a great continuation of the saga. So, what's next? I'm looking forward to reading the next installment 
Splendidly done, my dear. Thanks and tons of ((((hugs))) |

| This is a wonderful drabble. I can only imagine what is like to be far away from what one calls their homeland and to be forbidden to speak my own language, and you've conveyed Galadriel's feelings in a very convincing way. Greatly done! Thank you for sharing. |

YAY!!! Al, you're back *dances happily* And what a chapter it was!
First, the flashback... Oh, my, poor Elladan. Can I adopt him? I can imagine how he must feel when he endured that hunting trip with Elrond and Erestor (it must have been pretty boring to listen to them again, lol), and that constant interrogation from Glorfindel. And he must have been really angry having let Elrohir fool him once more. But, in the end, I'm glad to see the twins come to an agreement regarding Laureanna as she had stronger feelings for Elrohir. I couldn't help but smirk at the scene in the garden though. I wish I could have seen the look on Glorfindel's face when he caught Elladan holding Laureanna's hand waaaay too long than Glo could accept Oh, joys of being an overprotective father...
But then, the battle. It was a set of action-packed scenes. I know you mentioned that you weren't sure of this chapter because of the battle scenes, but I'm here to assure you that you did a great job depicting the horrors of the battle in this chapter. The fear and terror Laureanna felt, her need to defend herself were greatly completed with her overwhelming urge to constantly convince herself that Elhorif was unhurt and that he was going to survive. The moment she felt compassion toward the man she had to kill in self-defence was very moving. And I wondered when and how she was going to explain to the twins that she had never seen a battle before, as they suspected she wasn't telling them the truth. I guess they would have to wait a little longer as they were going to another battle. I love the ending scene  It was a most needed quiet point in the chapter full of action and raw emotions.
Keep up the awesome work, Al. Thank you tons for updating the story |

Alrighty, now Brand is not only cute, but also brave But you know, I got a little uneasy when Gamling thought, I hope he lives to grow up. I know those were tough times, and so on, but it saddened me a bit... Okay, I'll stop babbling now
Anyway, this was a chapter full of tension, and I tried hard not to look back over my shoulder. I knew there was no one there, but hey, you set the mood of this chapter so well that I almost felt there was indeed someone there watching me from the corner of my room. I bet it had everything to do with Grima, who emerged from the shadows like a ghost. And even if he didn't say a word, it was enough to bring uneasiness, and a chill on my spine. Loved the game of chess between Theoden and Gamling too
Great job! I'm looking forward to more. |
