Holy Cow! Great characterization. These OC's are already very well depicted. Thranduil sure made one heck of a decision at a point when he is probably not emotionally ready to make decisions. I'll be very interested to see how that turns out. And given how his mother is, I doubt this decision will be well received by her. I think it is very likely that the years immediately after his return to Greenwood would force Thranduil to redefine himself. That will be interesting to see. I liked the coronation ceremony. I love those types of things but find them very hard to write. You did a great job. I'm glad to see this posted so quickly. How do you write so many things at once?!

You have managed to do it again. A heartbreaking portrait of the newly crowned and seriously traumatized new king of Mirkwood. I loved your description of the Great Hall and of the coronation ceremony. You did a wonderful job of painting a picture with your words that it made me feel like I was standing there in the midst of the throng. And of course you had to leave the story at a point of maximum angst Mad smiley face

Needless to say I shall be checking on a regular basis to see when you update.

Not what I was expecting... AT ALL

A pox on your house for that cliffhanger. I found myself saying "no... he won't do it" and banging my hands on the table when he did.

The battlefield descriptions were uncanny.

By your skill, I can perfectly visualize and empathize with Thranduil. And now I'm completely involved and care about what happens to the characters.

That slurping sound you hear is me being sucked into this WIP.

Oh my the plot thickens. What a truly wicked girl you are! In the span of a single chapter you have deftly mananged to change my opinion of Thranduil's mother and kicked up the angst factor another notch. Of course I am now pacing around my computer waiting for your next update Rolling Eyes smiley face

That was quite a revealing dialogue! I am enjoying the characterization of Thranduil's family. It will be very interesting to see where it leads.

“I do not always babble when I lie,” Elingol said silkily. Oooo! That was indeed and excellent manipulation and a most excellent use of dialogue. Loved it. Thranduil's reactions all the way through it were priceless.

I love the image of Thranduil in the place where he and Laurien first kissed, his memories of it and then seeing her there. He plainly loves her and needs her. And she can handle his life, it seems. Now they just have to admit that to one another. Somehow, that is always the hard part. I am loving this. Update soon.

ARGH! cliffhanger! I haven't been able to read for a while and come back to find this enchanting tale! I wonder if he will push her away again? I hope his mother stays gone the rest of the day and her "hunt" is succesful!!

OMG.
Nice view on Thrandy. Te characterization is, once again, superb. You must be getting tired at me saying this over and over, but still. I loved Itel, Elingol and Laurien, too. The most freaking thing is that the people have so many layers I can see them.
