I wanted you to have a copy of the MEFA review I left with the story so here you go. =0)

This is a touching story by Ellie that shows how tragic the Kinslaying and Flight of the Noldo and the deeds of the House of Finwe on those left behind. She showed quite well how the three wives Nerdanel, wife of Feanor, Anairë, wife of Fingolfin, and Indis, wife of Finwe felt that it was *their* fault and they had failed their 'men' somehow to have caused this. I enjoyed how each wife had a different voice in this piece and they went from hopeless to having a purpose through confiding in each other their sense of failure. Plus the imagery of the Roses over a fence compared to what they needed to do to repair what was broken and make the first steps in these tasks. I've always liked Ellie's style of writing and how she picks characters that are often times overlooked in the fandom. This was no exception and I really appreciated a little peak in what these ladies might be thinking after the kinslaying. Its a tragic tale. I think it could be told from everyone's point of view and still add something new or a new perspective to it. I also really love Ellie's flowing and engaging story writing. Her fiction never disappoints me.
