| Great 1st chapter! Can't wait for the next installment. I see Anastor and Noruil are their usual selves. I would be interested in the back story as to how everyone seems to be at least marginally getting along now. Keep up the good work. |

Glad you liked it! Unfortunately for everyone, Anastor and Noruil continue along in that same vein throughout the story. And I will post some of the backstory of how they got to be more friendly with Legolas and his cousins as separate stories after this story gets going a bit. I was just anxious to get into the action of this story.  I hope you continue to enjoy and thanks so much for the review. I appreciate them so much! |

| Excellent story! You weave so many different perspectives into the same chapter - a difficult thing to do - but you do it quite well. Oh, no - is Legolas about to be engulfed in the battle? |

| I'm glad the POVs work for you. You're right--it can be hard to make work, so I'm glad you like it. Yes, Legolas is definitely about to be someplace he really shouldn't be. Things get much worse from here, I'm afraid. Thanks so much for the review. I really appreciate them. I hope you continue to enjoy! |

| Sorry I haven't been reviewing for a while. This is a great story. You've done a great job keeping the tension up and weaving in all the plots. I can hardly wait to find out who lives and dies (cause, surely someone is going to get whacked here) and find out who the spy is (I bet I know, and I'm so glad) and find out what the conspirators are up to. So much action. Love it! |

| I'm glad it does seem tense to you. It's hard to tell if I'm pulling that off sometimes. And as for your curiosities: someone is going to die, you're right; the spy's id is revealed next chapter; and the conspirators--well that is a long time in being revealed so you will suffer with that question for a long time. Thanks so much for the review! I appreciate them so much! |

| Great cracking story. Well written, tight plot and excellent characterisation. What a cliff hanger! Cannot wait for the next chapter. Actually, I've read the whole of your wonderful series more than once - it never fails to please. |

| Thank you so much! I am so glad you are enjoying this part (and the others!). I was so thrilled with you comment that the plot seems tight. That is something I've been trying to work on in this part, so I'm glad it is working. Thanks so much for the review. I appreciate them so much and hearing from someone that has read the whole thing is such a treat. I hope you continue to enjoy. |

| That was an amazing portrayal of a battle - you managed to capture Legolas and Galithil's almost incomprehension at viewing and being in the mist of their first battle. How horrible that poor Galithil's father dies before his very eyes. Would not his mother have stayed for her children? A foreshadowing of an older Legolas to be so caught up in the battle moment and full of adreniline that he does not even notice his own wounds. Will he be alright? Will Thranduil find them? Can't wait for more. |

| I'm so sorry it took me so long to reply to this review. Real Life has been keeping me busy. I'm so glad you enjoyed the battle. Getting the level of tension and not just letting the writing decline into a 'hack and cut' scene is so hard, so it's great to hear it worked. Thanks so much for the review! |
