Loved the story. I couldn't keep away! The things we are finding out just keep on getting more interesting. I'm eager to see if Angie will tell her daughters, and what Nima's reaction will be.

I love the story so far. Post up the sequal soon! It's interesting how you crafted the concept that in modern days elves still lives hidden within rural communities.. Smile smiley face

I've finally gotten around to writing you a real review. Let me preface by saying: I love the concept behind this story and its execution. It has all gut-wrenching of a teenage star-crossed lovers drama but with the Tolkien backstory. The combination works for sure. The dyanic with Orin and Nima reminds me a bit of an Alice Hoffman novel. Like they just can't love each other enough, but they love each other too much.

I was a bit disappointed that we didn't get to see how the Elladan & Angie thing unfolded in detail. In fact, I expected this to be epic-length with so many interesting characters, so I was shocked when it ended where it did. But if you're keeping it going, that's all that matters. I also had a little trouble justifying the points of view. It starts in Rumil's perspective and then flips to 3rd person (for which there is plenty of literary precedent), but I can't quite figure out the parts in third person that are about Rumil. How is that supposed to work?

Anyway, keep this stuff coming. You've really taken off with these characters, and I'd like to see where they end up.

I loved it. I'm interested to see how Lori and Randy's relationship will evolve, if it does. And what she and Eli might do. those naughty kids, lol.

Thank you for the angsty love story. I plan to read the sequel and hope that the silly Nima, who has unfortunately been raised as an immature human, will have grown up a bit.
