| This is a wonderful story, and a very good sequel to Novice. I enjoyed both very very much. You are gifted! |

I had read the prequel and nearly squeaked when I saw this one. Amazing. I almost cried sometimes. And yes, I think it would be a shame to send Eilian to Mandos. He's so cute!
Amazing job, sweetheart. Please, do consider writing some more in the near future- you have a very nice style. and the characterization - wow.
ditto. |

| Very nice! I love the family dynamic in this story, and it is so refreshing to have Thranduil be a caring parent, rather than the monster so many writers think he is. Am also glad that you kept Eilian alive, I like that rascal. |

The most rewarding thing about reading this sequel to "The Novice" has been seeing the growth in the characters. You have truly been able to depict Legolas' passage into adulthood in a believable manner, both in his role as a warrior, and in his more personal life. His dissapointment with Miriwen was heartbreaking, but it served so well the purpose of showing the strong bond between Eilian and his youngest brother.
The birth of Ithilden and Alfirin's son was another one of the highlights of this fic. You took such great care taking into account what we know about Elves and childbirth, and the result was a very touching scene when Ithilden and Alfirin are working together to bring their son into the world. I was teary-eyed by the time the baby was born.
I must commend you as well for your portrayal of Thranduil. Many of the fics I've read depict him as such a dominating, cold-hearted father. You have been able to show his stern side, but also his great care for all three of his children. He is exactly as I had imagined him to be.
I was thrilled to learn that you decided not to kill Eilian (send your beta a hug from me!). He really became one of my most favorite characters ... to kill him would've been too sad  !
Excellent job! |
