This piece combines both sensuality and poetry in perfect balance. It tickles the senses in such an alluring way that while reading I was hanging on to every word. Every word is evocative. I love how the haziness of the dream-state is there from the beginning of to the end. One other thing which may not be obvious at first is the strength and beauty of both characters. Yes, the scene entails description of Melian's beauty but their hidden beauty is revealed in the very well orchestrated actions that appear almost like a dance. It is very elemental in the sense that it combines the passion of fire and the flow of water along with solidness of earth, a thing which I find very elf like. The end result is magical and very very arousing.

All of them are so very atmospheric. I think the idea that Turin continued to believe himself a sinner and stubbornly walked the path he did was very much the main instigator of all the tragedies in his story finally culminating in his suicide. You have done a wonderfull job choosing the exact important turning points in his story. And to be able to shed light on a story like Turin's with so very few words and still be able to make it not only coherent but captivating is brilliant work. You have also managed to keep the heavy air that lingers whenever someone reads Turin's story. I remember that after I read it in the Silmarillion I had to actually find smthg nice to see on TV because the it provoked very disturbing imagery in mind. Your work still has that quality, more so because it's condensed. I also love how you managed to portray the main characters so clearly without us having to read the background information. Also, very few people take notice of what happened to Finduilas or specifically how it must have affected Turin. The titles you picked are great as well. All in all, GREAT work Very Happy smiley face

I never before stopped to consider the common threads between Elrond and Faramir. You did a marvellous job. Elrond's thoughts are very much alive. I love how solid and serene he seems while contemplating his losses. This has almost an unearthly flow to it. It is very much real and touches home way too sharply. Another thing I like is the description of Elrond's legacy and its comparison with that of Denethor. I can completely see how the gift of choice for Elrond can be considered rather a curse that's left him bereft of all he loved. The single thought of Elrond picking up on smthg like Faramir's losses when his daughter is to be wed to his foster son is brilliant. It fit's perfectly. Simply Great!

A lot of times I’ve tried to imagine what the elves particularly Feanor’s sons would feel because of kinslaying. I mean I never felt they were completely evil. I always thought that at moments of battle you lose yourself in the turmoil of anger and hatred that you forget your soul, and when it suddenly returned after all the noise dimmed it tears one from inside. You have successfully captured that more than I can express now. Maglor is one of the deepest and intriguing characters. Your choice was very wise. I could see him as the tormented poem that turned into a vicious warrior. The sadness and bitter loss you described can move stones to tears. Amrod and Amros I felt as the mislead victims, too romantic for the bloody battle and the fact the Amrod could not even utter his last words to completion sort of left me breathless particularly that he made reference to his family. Even though this is not long in words it moved me to the degree that I felt as though I would go over to the characters and try to scream or help or do something. True it can agitate the reader to the degree where I felt both angry and depressed but it has depth that adds wisdom and beautiful reflection. Maybe it is because it truthfully reflects those moments in life when you question your decisions and when fate slips out of control. All in all it is a wonderfully written piece, not one word is unnecessary and it created a master piece I could in all honesty call: a storm of emotions.
