And in the Darkness Bind Them: Vol I · Mon Nov 28, 2005 8:31 am

I read this through last night - well done! - I especially enjoyed your characterization of Marillion and the parallels between Ilmare and Miriel. - producing the best and the worst of what the race had to offer. I liked how you showed the decadance of the court and developed the ills that brought along the fall of Numenor. I'll be interested to follow this as it continues.

Nancy, you always seem to touch a personal chord with your works, this one more so than some of the others. I remember finding bundles of letters when we cleaned out my grandmother's house after her death. I lived with her for years, in my 'tweens' and had she'd always talked about her first husband - my grandfather, who was killed in the war when my dad was 18 months old. - none of us ever knew him at all. I asked for the letters because I thought it'd be a way for me to know him, but my dad felt they were too personal to share and tucked them away unopened. I respect that, but I also felt a sense of loss.

Hey! Great to see this here - I thought I had seen most of your works, but I don't remember this one, so this is a pleasant surprise. Great job (as always Smile smiley face

The Letter · Sat Nov 26, 2005 10:54 am

This is good. It's intriquing, and I agree with your a/n there are a lot of possibilities both in the writing and in the subject matter. It's one that I think it would be interesting to have seen the various incarntions as you worked through it.

A Tookish Prayer · Fri Nov 25, 2005 1:22 pm

I enjoyed this tale, I especially like the element of faith and hope, I feel that is a thread that runs strongly through Tolkiens works that is too often overlooked. Well-done. Smile smiley face

What The East Wind Bring · Fri Nov 25, 2005 8:55 am

I've enjoyed your first couple of chapters. I especially like your POV of a Haradrim warrior princess - but duty calls - family Smile smiley face

... I'll had to catch with the rest of the chapters another day, but I wanted to leave a note for you to keep up the good work.

I saw this as the story of the day this morning while I was browsing and drinking my coffee. What a delightful way to start the day. - such tenderness, and so bittersweet at the end.

hmmm.... it gets harder to write reviews when everyone else has already said what I was thinking .... lovely view of Denethor, balancing his nature, and his roles as ruler and father. Well Done.

I can't imagine any parent who can't identify with this one. - the love of the kids and the draining tiredness, not just the constant emotional responsibility but the endless sleepless nights.

How exciting it is to have a night to yourselves, but how impossibly quiet it is without the kids. Smile smiley face

You have a real knack for characterization. Homey and familar and Hobbitty all at the same time. I like how your Sam and Rosie have an earthy sensuality about them, that their physical and emotional love is a real and natural thing and and how sharing that is such important part of their being.
