Hey, I loved your two little stories!!! Thranduil is one of my favorite characters, a complex presence that is unfortunately more often than not depicted as a cruel ruler/father/king... I just loved the way you gave off the impression of him being a warm family man and a steady king in the most natural way possible. It was great!

First of all, I have to second Neniel's comment about your portrayal of Thranduil. I adore stories that characterise him in a positive light, and you managed to create a portrait of both a regal and family man in this piece. The style of your writing is formal without being stilted and is very pleasant to read, and all in all it was a very enjoyable short piece.

The only thing that got me, which is probably just me and not a reflection really on the writing, was that I found it a bit hard to see Legolas writing a letter to his dad about being on the quest, since they were trying to keep their business fairly quiet, I've always thought, and any letter to Mirkwood would have been exposed to interception from Sauron's spies. But like I said, that wasn't a point with the writing style or anything, it was merely something that made me pause for a minute when reading.

All in all, this was a lovely story, and if you want me to clarify or explain anything I've said in this review, don't hesitate to PM me.

I am also a big Thranduil fan and I thoroughly enjoy seeing GoodAda!Thranduil in this piece. I think Legolas's homecoming must indeed have been a tremendous relief for him and this was well portrayed. Great job!
