Exquisite research, and nice sense of space and time. I loved all the many and complicated canon references, and the pieces that you made up fit in seamlessly. Will you be writing more of the second-age elves? Am looking forward to it!

By and large, you have an elegant narrative voice. In a few spots, the sentences went on rather long, so that by the end I couldn't remember how the sentence started. Sometimes it helps to count words: if there are more than 30 in one sentence, that sentence probably needs to be broken up a little. Alternating sentence lengths can really help pacing, but it's tricky when you're going for a high-epic voice.
