This is heart-breaking, Al. You've done a wonderful job with portraying Celebrimbor here, with his pain and the realization that he lost his father twice -- to the Oath and then, for real, in Doriath. Beautifully written!

Wow! This is very powerful, Alassante.

I really felt empathy for the hard situation Celebrimbor is in. Nicely done!

(ARGH!!! ... just left a nice review and somehow deleted it.. Sad smiley face )

I love the layers and depth of this in how you portray the pain of betrayal and loss and then the pain of freedom when he casts the mirror away. Well done!

Poor guy just can't win. I think you did a very good job balancing the complex nature of his misery.

Hooray for Celebrimbor! I completely dig how you characterize him: the last and brightest of the Feanorians, forsaking the silly bling in favor of wisdom and craft. (It's too bad what ultimately happened to him, but hey, anybody could have been misled by mister lord of gifts, eh?) At any rate, it is a pleasure reading these bits, darlin.

This is great, not enough written IMO about the last Feanorian, cant wait for the next chapter.
Thank You.
