I dig it dahlin'... have I mentioned that your Eowyn is loads better than JRR's? And of course, you write Gimli better than anyone I know. Magnificent. *off to take a peek at new chapter in my inbox Wink smiley face

I don't know why more folks have not reviewed this GREAT story! The character of Cyrene is wonderful - she is an equal of the men with her fighting skills and determination and the character's grappling with new feelings of love and lust are great. The sex scenes are very good (can I meet a guy as sensitive as Legolas?) and I love that it seems our poor Gimli may finally get some nookie! The last few chapters have been so interesting, with their depiction of the Amazons. All in all, this is a very creative, well written story and I am so looking forward to their resolution. And, to agree w/Viv - thanks for fleshing out Eowyn into a more interesting, competent character. I've always preferred her to Arwyn. Keep writing!

This is so good! Is it finished yet? It's quite long. I get the same feeling reading it as I do when I read Tolkien's work. Laughing smiley face

It is so good! You build upon Tolkien's world.

Nice twist to have Eomer be the one who has to find Cyrene and set her on her course! And I am enjoying the more rounded character of Gimli in this story - he gets to be so much more than just comic relief. Keep up the good work, C, I am awaiting the next chap w/anticipation!

Thank you for letting me be along for this ride. As I told you when I read the final version of the epilogue, I was close to outright tears. Not just because the scene was heart-wrenching (it was), but also because I will miss this story, now that it's over. The characters have become very dear, and though I knew it would end some day, it was, inevitably, bittersweet.

You know, Elfchen, because of your story here, I made a huge exception (I read [or write] LOTR fanfic). And I'm glad I did.
Not only is it well written, but also plot and character-wise really well planned and thought through. Mary Sue, my butt. If Tolkien ever had thought about mingling Greek Mythology and his own Middle Earth and let them have a [love]life beyond the ring, he would have written Adversity.
So, well done, Claud, and keep on writing.

HEY~! Why isnt anyone reviewing here?? its such a FANTASTIC story! ARGH! Why'd you make her die!!! *sniff sniff*...beautiful ending nonetheless...but you know..You could have made out that Cyrene was like half elven or sumthing..like changed it around a bit...coz Cyrene's mother never really revealed what race was the man she mated with right? if Cyrene was halfelven, then she could have lived possible with an immortal life to be with Legolas...

Lovely story though...if this was a book and Mr. Tolkien had no dibs on it...I would buy it =] Very Happy smiley face

I first read this at FFnet, and was glad when the fic found its way into OS. It's one hell of a fic, hon. the amazon touch was masterful, really. It's one of those insertions that look, sound and smell absolutely natural- it fits so perfectly into the whole, you catch yourself thinking why the hell you haven't thought of that before. a treat.
