This is a review to let you know I have read - if you see what I mean. I like the idea of there having been elves in Ithilien in a time before the Ring War, and that they would return to try and heal their wood, too.
I like the way that you write Faramir - I think you have his character very well. I will be interested to see where this goes. |

The descriptions and observations in this chapter are really good.
I really think that your writing is improving chapter by chapter, from good' to 'very good' - well done. |

Thanks again. Writing from the perspective of an Elf, especially in the Third Age, when they have started fading and become increasingly evanescent, was really a great challenge. Glad to see the results are fine.  |

I have to admit to preferring book-verse Faramir -
`Most gracious host,' said Frodo, 'it was said to me by Elrond Halfelven that I should find friendship upon the way, secret and unlooked for. Certainly I looked for no such friendship as you have shown. To have found it turns evil to great good.'
But I will not let that put me off your story. |

Oh, I love them both. Only I find the movie-verse one a bit more challenging, both dramatically and characterially. More tormented, let's say. He has a growth during the story. Whereas book!Faramir is a fantastic guy who never wavers from the straight way. Very admirable, but also very uneventful to write about.
I'm glad it hasn't spoilt the story for you!
Thank you for the review. |

I have to say...
I've been following this story faithfully and waiting for each chapter posting with anticipation. It is very well written and quite poignant. I will be interested in seeing how this whole thing turns out, though I have a gut feeling it will have a fell ending  (
Thank you for sharing! |

Hi! Thanks for reviewing! As for the ending, no spoilers. I'll update asap...but as Tolkien would put it, have some Estel.  |

| Wow - that is very powerful stuff. Now we wonder... does she live or is she on her way to Mandos halls? Well written. |

| Well! That was quite a tale. I absolutely love your voice. Thank you for such an ending. I had hope her pain and stubborness would not be her undoing, and that she accepted a second chance at redemption. She deserves it, I think. Brava... |

| What a good tale you have told us. Such a good ending - not too sugar-sweet. I am glad that they will work together in Ithilien and, I am sure, find themselves a pair again. |

| Thank you, cw! Glad you liked the ending. I often think it is the most difficult part of a tale. |
