I don't think I will say everything I would like to tell you about this story because I'm at a loss for words, as simply as that.

When you told me that you'd be writing a story centering on Erestor, I'd have never guessed how unique, unusual and wonderful idea you had. I was amazed, seeing those first pieces you shared with me and I already knew I'd love to see the entire story, such captivating those small bits were.

You created such a magnificent portrayal of an elf who is a popular character in fanfiction, yet we don't know much about him. Your story brought a fully rounded, well-developed characterization presented in Erestor's thoughts, the images of his past, the memories he shared and in the descriptions of those who were dear to him. We could see a noble, loyal, valiant and caring person, who was wrapped in grief and the loss of those he once loved. You conveyed such a wide range of his emotions, from sadness to anger, from happiness to despair in a one-shot, which is a great task to accomplish. I bow before your talent.

Regarding Maglor, this line described him in the most powerful way: The everlasting darkness is my fate and my burden to carry alone.
I know that he is your favorite CC and all I can say is that you did him justice.

I loved also this line: However, I knew better, for I have known Elrond long enough to know that the Lord of Rivendell would not want to witness that. More than ever it would be the culmination of all his pain: to see a new generation born without the light of the Eldar in its eyes.
This was in my opinion one of the most evocative lines in the story.

I'd like to mention that you worked many canon facts into the plot very wisely, and that magnified the impact of your writing.

All in all, this was absolutely awesome, touching, heart-warming and beautifully done story and a wonderful birthday gift for your friend. I'm impressed. Thank you for sharing it with us.

Love,

Awesome! I agree with what the other reviewers said above. Thank you for such an impressive portrayal of Finwe - a true king and leader, passionate and capable of lighting both love and fear. This is a beautifully written, excellent, evocative and full of eroticism piece of prose.

Keep up the great work Very Happy smiley face

Okay.

*fans herself*

Woman, how do you do this.... hmmmm...? Maybe it's not a good question, but I can't think straight now, LOL! Errrm, okay, enough joking. You've got me wondering which one of your fics I should place on my recommended fics' list, and you know I've already got one there, but this... Twisted Evil smiley face

It's worth my sincere recommendation, by all means, and 5 stars Neu the Queen of Horse Lords smut. Very Happy smiley face

First off, you presented Morwen's gentle and wicked sides in the same one-shot. This OFC is really one of my favorite OFCs I've ever gotten to read about. Honestly, she's an excellent, adorable, well-developed character. And oh boy, that young lad was so sweet and cute *giggles*

Then, Theodred... *happy sigh* You know that I attempted to write him, but I'm handing you the presidency of the Theodred fangurls club right now Very Happy smiley face

By the way, you didn't mention you were going to post this little smutty gem, you bad girl you Wink smiley face

I would've gotten to read it earlier. Anyway, I'm really glad that I stumbled upon your story, because it's lovely, hawt, beautifully written, touching and funny, and I loved a drunk Morwen, LOL.

I hope you're planning to write more and post more soon. Very Happy smiley face

Thank you for sharing.

Your die-hard fangirl,

I love the whole conversation between Morwen and Walda. It added a lot to the portrayal of the old man. And wooo hooo, new characters. I can't wait to see them Smile smiley face

So, am I right it's another part of the series completed, hmmm? I hope we're going to see the next one soon. As always, you have an eager, hooked reader here Very Happy smiley face

Ah, and the end of the chapter, very sensual... Surely you want to make me a Horse Lord addict, Neu Wink smiley face

No reviews...? Let me fix it then Smile smiley face

This is a great story. I love your descriptions, and I find this line especially moving: His golden hair brightened his image spilling out beneath his helm, as if Fingolfin himself emanated the lost light of the Two Trees from Valinor. Beautiful and very emotive. Your portrayal of Fingolfin presents the tragedy and yet hope. He knew he would die but his valor was not going to waste. I also love the elegant language of this story, and the line is very powerful. Great job! Very Happy smiley face

Thank you for sharing.

This is simply fantastic: the beauty and elegance of the language, the usage of music metaphors and the backdrop of the past make this portrayal of Amarie and Finrod fully developed, which is a great thing to convey in a short story. Thank you!

Excellent imagery! You conveyed the destruction of Arda at its very dawn very skillfully and you set the atmosphere of Morgoth's threat so well in so few words that it seemed tangible. Brava!

Best wishes,

I'll second Rhapsy's review by saying that this was a great read Very Happy smiley face

I like your portrayal of Aragorn. His confusion is amusing Wink smiley face

I also like a mirthful Legolas. All in all, I enjoyed this short story very much and I'm looking forward to reading more of your works.

Best wishes,

Awww

I remember my first horse riding lesson. To say the least, neither I nor the horse found it funny Wink smiley face

And I didn't have a teacher such as Gamling *sigh*

What a lovely mixture of playfulness and humor, with a bit of naughtiness to spice. Love it, as always Very Happy smiley face
