A wonderfully sympathetic view of Grima and how he chose his own downfall.

The explanation of how he became one of Theoden's advisors is well thought out.

The use of language in this story is simply lovely.

I'm looking forward to reading more of your work.

Wonderful imagery. I can easily imagine the Singer doing something like this. It was good to leave his emotional reaction to the readers' imaginations.

What wonderful insights into the relationship between Elros and Elrond and the reasons behind Elros' choice. You've taken a canon character about which almost nothing is known (beyond the dry facts) and fleshed him out beautifully, with the strengths of his personality well balanced by his weaknesses. For all that they are different, they still cherish the importance of their family. And all of this is done with great style and restraint. Brava!

This story is a gem. It depicts Legolas and Gimli as friends whose knowledge and abilities compliment each other, like the TV adaptation of Sherlock Holmes that stared Jeremy Brett. There's real affection beneath their rivalry.

Gimli had the right attitude about snow. He could be a Canadian.

Rules were made to challenge imaginative people. You incorporated the needed elements in a creative, descriptive way rather than literally.

Ok! Ok! I confess! This story was on OSA and later removed. Now it's back.

Thank-you for the reviews. I'm surprised that so many people remember it.

I really enjoyed the interaction between Amaras and Saeros. There's obviously more, but I guess I'll just have to be patient in waiting for it.

Thank-you everyone for reviewing the story. It's very encouraging to know that people are enjoying it and it's very kind of you to take the time to let me know.

Eep!!! You're absolutely right, Elena Tiriel. My bad with the King under Mountain. Thanks for pointing it out. I'll go and correct it right away.

A wonderful gap filler. The tone is true to Tolkien's writing, particularly Pippin's comments about impolite trolls falling on people. The more serious exchanges shows how he has matured.

Eomer seems a little uneasy with his duty of watching the hobbits, but that fits, too. It seemed to me that he would be more comfortable riding into battle than tending a sick person. But he would have to learn to do to be a good king.

I very much enjoyed this.

I'm very glad to see this story here. It is well thought out and very believable.

It's very good to see a fill-in-the-blanks that keeps everyone in character. It's a rare gem to find.

Well, I'm hooked.

The character of Amaras has me enthralled. The entire society and the backdrop for the story is well thought out and believable.

I'd like to see more of this, even though I know how it will end.

Thank-you for the very enjoyable read!
