Wow. Just... wow. I've tried to say several things and I just keep coming back to "wow", which I know isn't very helpful. I wouldn't change a thing about it. It's just... wow. Sorry, this is probably my worst review to date, but I'm still reeling. Thank you for this piece.

Marta this is an extraordinary, sensitive, complex and beautifully thought out piece of work. It is shocking to think of a hobbit contemplating his own death, let alone those of his friends and loved ones, but at the same time perfectly reasonable thanks to the strength of your writing.

I think my favorite part was the simple and Oh-so-hobbit-like "Why did things have to change?" Perfect.

I think is is a great piece that puts the spotlight in a minor character. Yet I feel that this character does not like that, but neither does he likes his life currently. What an insightful piece dealing with teh aftermath of the Shire Occupation. Haunting, chilling: a tormented soul cannot find his peace. Maybe Frodo and later on Sam will sail on West, but what has Robin to cling onto what for example Merry and Pip have? When I read this I felt as if I could see Robin sitting at a table, holding a tankard in his hand, citing the lines of the simply poem quoted. Next you lift out every line and write a stunning background, merely a glimpse but yet so incredibly effective. Great writing Marta. Darn, I read this story days ago and yet I simply cannot shake off the feeling that this story gives me. In that respect: great writing!
