This is a wonderful well written story! I always thought that Gilraen was an interesting but neglected character. You have managed to evoke her fears, grief and loneliness at being widowed and torn from her home. Your portrayal of the elves is informative and realistic. I just love how the sight of Gilraen's ankle and calf left them gaping like teenage boys. Your description of Glorfindel’s subtle interest was delicious - all I could think of was 'moths to a flame' (you know it is dangerous, but you can't resist it!). I look forward to future chapters.

Thank you! On top of telling Gilraen's story in a way that makes her more than window-dressing for Estel/Aragorn, I have really enjoyed exploring the cultural differences between the Dúnedain and the Elves. And yes, Glorfindel and Gilraen seem like moths to the flame, don't they? Glad you enjoyed this.

Great cracking story. Well written, tight plot and excellent characterisation. What a cliff hanger! Cannot wait for the next chapter. Actually, I've read the whole of your wonderful series more than once - it never fails to please.

Thank you so much! I am so glad you are enjoying this part (and the others!). I was so thrilled with you comment that the plot seems tight. That is something I've been trying to work on in this part, so I'm glad it is working. Thanks so much for the review. I appreciate them so much and hearing from someone that has read the whole thing is such a treat. I hope you continue to enjoy.

I too love the new, happier, and perky Haldir. Poor healer she doesn't stand a chance. Can't wait for the next chapter. More please!

I am still enjoying this story. You somehow manage to write relatively short chapters, which are they are rich in detail and have good characterisation. I think that is good, clever writing.

I loved your grumpy Nurael - Haldir needs some tough love.! Again my only complaint is your chapters are way too short (I am still greedy).

Thanks for the enjoyment

I am intrigued - cannot wait for Haldir's reaction to whom he is to escourt. You are able to convey Haldir's weariness and his loved ones concerns. Although, your chapters are short (I'm just greedy - I always want more) you do update frequently - so I should not complain! Thanks for an enjoyable read on a dreary winter's day. I look forward to your future chapters.

I have only recently discovered your stories - which I have greatly enjoyed. You have a wonderful writing style and the structure of your stories are rich and detailed. You are able to write about angst, anger, saddness, and fun with equal passion and elaquance - which not all writers are able to do successful. I love how you have developed your characters, so you are able to see their strengths and flaws, e.g. the elves, who would elicit great love butwould also drive me mad at times (a bit like family, who you love but could cheerfully murder at times). I look forward to your future chapters whenever you able to publish them, I am amazed that you can produce so much so quickly. It is obvious that you take great care and give great thought to what you write ... but it will never be quick enough for your hungry public. Please keep enjoying the writing and don't feel pressured in producing work just to keep people happy - then there is a danger that it becomes a chore not a pleasure. Thank you for the enjoyment you have given me.

I have spent the last two days reading your wonderful story - clothes have been left unironed, carpets have been left unhoovered, shelves have been eft dusty. ... Basically, I have been captivated and entralled these last two days. This is a wonderful epic - your words made pictures in my imagination. Your story is rich, complex and beautiful. Your characters are so well written - I feel that I know them so well and I miss them when my eyes leave the screen. I tip my hat to you - this is a simply delictious feast. Thank you
