| I cannot believe there are no reviews yet for this wonderful series of letters. From cautioned hope to despair, you and Faramir carried me. I am sorry how it all ends up, for I fear I read the story. |

Every single word perfectly placed, right from the beautiful, mythic sense of the hidden meaning in visible things that the title brings, to the last poignant cry for brothers to stand together while they can.
Please bring us the letters TO Ithilien, now!! |

| Epistolaries are difficult to do, and are rarely as well-handled as this. If you should choose to write a sequel, it should be the letters written to Faramir. It is impossible to eliminate the image I have of the brothers' reading & re-reading each other's letters, smoothing them out & folding them back until they have permanent creases. |

Faramir's voice is just right. The letters clearly show the admiration and affection he held for older brother. It also shows Faramir's humility and lack of jealousy for Boromir's popularity.
Boromir's inferred responses indirectly develop his character, which is no mean feat considering that the conversation is entirely one sided.
At this point, I guess that seeing the other half of the letters is out of the question? (insert puppy-dog eyes icon here) |

| A fitting prelude to the full-blown horrors of Sauron's assault on Gondor; as seen through Faramir's letters to his brother. The last one in particular is both urgent and haunting. |
