| Oh dear! Sorry I made you cry. Bring kleenex next weekend too - the epilogue can be a tear-jerker too. |

Thank you for this lovely closing scene. I do love the way that you have written Celeborn in this story - he is so often written as only a shadow beside his wife but I agree with you about the elf he is.
It will be lovely, also, to read more of this family in the future - when you have time and impetus to write it for us. |

Hi there!
Yes, there will be a sequel - after I get at least one or two more of my WIPs moved over into the "Finished!" column.  I have some interesting ideas that I'd like to explor with Ivoreth.
Thank you again for all your support and your reviews. |

Beautifully written. Thank you for this story. I really enjoyed your epilogue. But like the fanatic I am, I wished it would just go on and on and on....lol.
Just one question, did I miss Elrohirs secret that Gandalf knows? |

Hi Daniel! No, you didn't miss the explanation of what Gandalf and Elrohir were talking about. That will be in the sequel - if not the next one, the one thereafter.
I'm glad that you enjoyed the story. I certainly have appreciated your comments along the way. Thank YOU! |

| Wonderful story! I really enjoyed the interactions between little Ivoreth and all the elves. You filled out each of the characters - Elladan, Elrohir, Galadriel, Erestor, Elrond ...... and all your new characters so well. Thanks for sharing! |

Oh, my Aearwen, what a revealing tale! Ivoreth, being an outsider, really sees the Elves in a way that those who are accustomed to them never can.
I really liked how you showed Ivoreth changing over time, as she became accustomed to the rules and expectations of her new life.
Two things that I especially appreciated:
First, how you portrayed Ivoreth's inner psychology, her thoughts and feelings, and how she reacted to events and to Elrond's talk therapy....
Secondly, I loved how you wrote about music. I was thrilled to see how Ivoreth concentrated on picking out the song that she remembered, and how she enjoyed the impromptu concert that ensued. I'm not a musician (though I suspect you are one), but I value creativity, and I think you wrote about Ivoreth in a way that really conveys her budding joy in the creative process.
I really enjoyed reading this story, Aeaerwen, despite getting tears in my eyes in some parts.
Very well done!
