Such a pleasure to find 4 new chapters. Smile smiley face I am blessed to watch Anarie and Glorfindel falling in love, it is a very precious story, I am hoping they will bind before the Fall of Gondolin and that she survives and finds him once again.

You could have let them have their wedding night at least, how cruel to have Gondolin attacked at that time. Sad smiley face It is a wonderful story and deserving of reviews. Smile smiley face

I have been dreading this chapter and the next. I can only trust that you will keep Anarie alive and reunite her with Glorfindel once he has died and been reembodied but it is distressing always to read about the Fall of Gondolin. I did really like that she attacked Maeglin in a fury and protected Earendil.

Awww *sends hugs* There would be no point in trying to write a story about Anárië in more than one book by killing her off in the first one - trust me, that's certainly not my intention. The next and final chapters should be up soon! Thank you for reviewing.

This was very painful to read, heartbreaking really but you did a fantastic job of writing this very challenging chapter.

I'm glad you think so - it was difficult to write for obvious reasons, and also because of the challenge. Thank you for reviewing!

I am shocked that this is the end Malinwen, are you writing a sequel ? I really hope you have, this has been a consistently well written and exciting story and I very much would like to see their reunion.

I'm glad you enjoyed it - and as it says in the story's description, this is simply Book I. I've written the massive chunk of Book II already, but it won't get edited for a while yet because I'm busy in RL ... that being said, however, I plan on posting it beginning January 2013. Thanks again!

"I will break every bone in your body and leave you like that if you do."
It's so amusing and I couldn't help replacing Ecthelion with E-breaker at reading following chapters. Smile smiley face

I did like the conversation between father and daughter. "they disapproved", clever daughter. "almost recipe for disaster", wise father.
And the war game was fun. The two women seemed better at strategy, "our fathers' daughters" though the two fathers got killed soon.
The major OFC was well designed, connecting many canonical characters.
Lalaith was also cute. The Balrog slayers deserved some smacks. Smile smiley face)
Only given that Gondolin sent an army ten thousand strong for Unnumbered Tears, I assumed the population was probably over hundred thousand and then a big house might have over ten thousand and "to run a household" was more like to run a kingdom than a housewife's work.
Thank you.

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed the read Smile smiley face and I think I referred mostly to Ecthelion's own house, I'm unsure whether they would have all lived together or not, I kind of picture that there would be a 'main' house, and then others connected to it, carrying on with the name, but who knows? It's all speculation, but thanks for the comment!
