Reviews for "The Bond"

Okay this review is going to seem a little disjounted. I kept notes through several chapters, jotting down things that were particularly lovely. "To Eliwen she seemed to be made of gold and snow." ... fantastic one-line description of Eowyn (from ch. 12). I thought Eliwen's reaction to mass death was spot-on. She wouldn't remember the battles of the elder days (I'm guessing that she's of an age with the other kiddos of Elrond), so this would probably be her first experience with full-scale battle. She handled herself very well. And, of course, the, er, bond-deepening scene was most gratifying. And then, lordy hell, it went on into the following morning. Elves at play: gah. Onward... the call of Mandos was haunting, inevitable, dark. In short, exactly what it should have been. And how beautiful that Thranduil's wife should meet her there. "Elladan's voice was cold and full of restrained anger" ... mmmm, *that's* the Sons of Elrond: dark and beautiful and lethal. So yummy. Usually I'm distracted by inserted Sindarin bits, but I thought you handled these nicely. They didn't detract from the story, but made Eliwen's and Legolas's parting seem more solemn. Plus I learned something new... who knew there was good Sindarin for "Go kiss an orc." Wink smiley face

I'm up to ch. 16 (heartbreaking reunion! poor Legolas) and still reading. This is lovely stuff.

Just had to review this, I have just finished reading it, and thought it was an absolutely brilliant story, the plot and characters kept me glued to the screen, I did not want to budge from the computer! This a seriously excellent piece of reading, I thought blended in well with the movie, and could clearly see it happening in amongst the movie! Wonderful! I loved it! It had the right amount of everything! I look forward to reading more of your work!!

This is fantastic! My co-workers can attest that I was totally absorbed into The Bond. I am glad that I finished it at home since I was sniffling for most of the last three chapters. After reading the other reviews, there is nothing new that I can add that others have not already said. However, I will agree with one reviewer that if you write a sequel I would also look forward to reading it!
This was one of the best that I have read here. I don't usually pick stories with so many chapters but I was drawn to this one and I am glad that I took the opportunity to read it. It breezed by!

Where does one begin? This is such a beautifully woven, enchanting tale of eternal love. I have enjoyed every minute. Your attention to detail is inspired; your voice a lovely tribute to Tolkien lore.

Suggestions:
Watch for some of the more subtle grammar and spelling issues that can be a distraction.
The fourteen year separation seemed a bit excessive, breaking some of the continuity you had so eloquently built throughout the preceding chapters.

Wonderful story... Bravo! When do we get to see the encore?

Thank you for sharing your lovely creation...

I read this story from begging to the end. I must say it was a very good story. Almost made me believe it really happened. I cried at Aragorns last time with his wife, family and friends. I also cried really hard when it was time to depart the west and all that would be left behind. But in chapter 32 just about the end I felt as if some sentences were left out. It ends with*If the chi.* Was there another chapter that was supposed to be added and are you on another site. Also when I was trying to find your website, it said*author does not exist!* Do you go by another name? PLease let me know so I may read the part that was missing. Thanks
