Needless to say I will be watching this story since I love Thranduil and Legolas. You are off to a good beginning. I have never seen anyone portray Thranduil as initially unsympathetic to the Silvan elves and his encounters with the lady were amusing. I'm also interested to see how you characterize Oropher in the initial parts. Looking forward to seeing more. Smile smiley face

So far this looks very good. You've managed to make Thranduil a little bad tempered without making him thoroughly evil like in a lot of stories, and I prefer to see him characterised with a little more depth Very Happy smiley face

I would agree with Ellisk, I am looking forward to seeing Oropher and how you build him as a character, since he is so rarely seen in fanfic in my experience. I like your OFC, and also look forward to seeing her develop, though I expect there will be a bit of tragedy along the way... Very Happy smiley face

By the way, how do you manage to get your text centred? I've been trying to do that for ages and never managed it. Smile smiley face

Hey, guess what. I stopped studying to read your story. Big Hug smiley face

Firstly, I want to wish you luck. A series is not an easy thing to write. I'll be around for moral support if you need it. Now, onto the fic. I like Thranduil so far. I never did see him as an evil-heartless-dwarf-torturing-abusive parent. He is practical and stubborn (and devestatingly handsome Twisted Evil smiley face

) I think you've got a very canon Thranduil walking around in your head. Almwen should be an interesting OFC. Just one thing, Vendie dear, she-elf? Please no. Elleth is the Sindarin word for female elf. Other than that, I have no complaints. I'll be watching you ... urm, I mean, your story. Yeah, that's what I meant. Big Hug smiley face

Very nice. An elfy sort of discussion. I like how they are slowly moving together. Sorry for the short review. I am going out of town--I just wanted to let you know I'm enjoying it and I'll be more detailed later.

This story is progressing nicely. I like the way the relationship is developing between them, and I liked Thranduil's attitude to the festivities, and their being irrelevant in his eyes. Only thing that struck me was that there were a couple of sentences that seemed a bit modern to me, which is probably just me, but the main one I noticed was 'I'm smarter than you'. Again, might just be me, but that struck me as very modern. But otherwise I am really enjoying the fic and am looking forward to more updates.

I'm really enjoying this so far! It's always nice to see a non-abusive/miserable Thranduil!! He's a little bit bad-tempered but I think it adds somehwat to his depth of character Smile smiley face

I love the way the relationship between the two progressed and I'll definately be watching this fic for more updates. It's working out brilliantly!
