Whoa. Very nice.
I particularly enjoyed Feanor's dialogue with Maeglin. Smile smiley face

Wow. This is absolutely stunning! And it's the whole package, too--imagery, emotions, dialog. Above all you have managed to merge the mythos in a manner that's consistent & compelling. A truly great piece. Smile smiley face

I admit I guessed the identity of the ferryman -- your hints were gorgeous and subtle -- but that did not detract from the tension and dark beauty of the piece. Pointing out my favorite parts might spoil the twist for other readers, and I don't want to do that. But suffice it to say, there were certain turns of phrasing in this piece that were excruciatingly beauitful. Thank you for posting; thank you for letting me read.

Thouroughly enjoyed this story. Nice character sketch of Feanor. And I like how Maegelin got his

A truly beautiful piece of writing. The description and dialogue are simply amazing. I did suspect the identity of your mystery-man since the beginning, but knowing that made the story all the more enjoyable, as curious I was to see what the two had to say to each other. The exchange that took place between them did not disappoint. The ultimate fate of Maeglin rang especially true for me. It was fitting - no more and no less than what he deserved.

The blending of Greek mythology and Tolkien's lore was inspired, an example of what any good AU should be. You took Tolkien's facts and built on them, making the whole truly more then just a sum of its parts. This is the kind of originality I love to stumble across in fan-fiction.

Thank you for brightening my day, and for a wonderful reading experience.

This was eerie and downright amazing. It's a very fitting form of retribution...
