Thank you for the update!! the chapter is great as always. I really like how you weave OCs in the story.
I felt like I was stalking you with the rate I checked this story for that update  |

Stalk away. Heck, next time, send me a good old fashioned kick in the behind via PM or email if I go too long between chapters! It's odd to think I might have "fans" in a sense, but I LOVE knowing people enjoy what I write.
That said, hang onto your hanky. It's gonna get rough... |

| I am always happy to see another chapter of this - even though, because it is so well written and covering such a perilous time, each chapter tugs at the heart-strings. The conversation of the women as to the best way to make sure the women and children will die at home rather than be taken by the enemy, is just right for the women of the Mark, I think, even though it brings tears to my eyes. |

| It's not always easy to write either. Glad you enjoyed this one, though I know it's hard to read. (And, warning's fair, it's going to get worse before it gets better. There will be additional character deaths before they come home.) |

What Walda did was great. I also liked how the conversation between the women unfolded.
Excellent stuff, as always |

| Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. Too bad I didn't catch that he'd given it to the wrong character until this review! Folcwyn is Cubby's mother, not Weirthe. *headdesk* |

Oh how very sad - and yet almost inevitable that this sad woman would take this sad and terrible path.
You do such a good job of making Edoras a living town; the people reacting just as real people would under the pressure and duress of impending war, still inclined to bicker and accuse each other of this and that, lose sight of the subject of the debate in the arguments... |

| Oh my - that is powerful stuff. I want ot poke a couple of the other women, too - and say 'Why didn't you go and help the child singing mourning songs?'. And yet I can see it just as you wrote it. |

| Thanks, as always, for taking a minute to review! I've noticed over time, not that I've lived that awfully long of course, that there are people who "want to help" until it comes time to do something unpleasant (and sadly, sometimes, when they realize they won't profit from it), and those who simply help without questioning the circumstances. I see that need to act as part of why Morwen has moved so much; she sees something wrong and does something, perhaps by getting herself into trouble for taking the wrong course or angering the wrong people. But she is, first and foremost, a person of action, something she has in common with her Gamling. |

| It's been a while since I read your story last, but after those two additions I didn't feel as if any time had passed, really. You have this amazing ability to pull the reader into the story immediately, with a few words. It was interesting to read about Gamling's visit. The other chapter was pretty heart-breaking. Great stuff as ever. Thank you for updating! |

I am always so glad to see another chapter posted. But - oh poor, poor, Haleth - poor Gamling too; face to face with the realities of those who go to war when they could not, and should not... Yes - a real need for the hanky.
And little joy, either for Morwen or Feanreth, i think, at least for some time... |

| We writer types really are a sadistic lot. In the past 4 chapters I've killed off as many characters, some of whom I think were fan favorites. |

How good to have another chapter to read. The recovery of the Rohirrim after the war ends is a particular interest of mine - life must have been very hard for so many of them - and my heart goes out to poor Feanreth whose plight you have written so well, and so realistically.
(Actually i should post my 'stories in drabbles' about a Rohirric family struggling to survive post war here... maybe tonight!) |
