Wow! Thank you very much for such a wonderful look into these two characters. Merry, grown-up, thoughtful, lonely and out of his depth, but carrying on. Eowyn, strong and sad, but still able to smile at her strange companion. A friendship that crosses cultures, a bond that will carry on through time, a shared experience that has changed them, matured them. Thank you thank you thank you!

 Hi, SilverMoonLady! Thank you so very much for your generous comments! It's just a joy to write about those two. Their personalities are so different, yet after all they went through, it must have been life-changing for both of them.

I think my favorite part was Merry worrying about the boots suffocating his feet. I never thought about just what Hobbits do with their feet, other than walk--but maybe some things don't bear such close scrutiny!  |

Oh, wow. That was absolutely fabulous - a beautiful look at a little-considered friendship. I especially enjoyed the ending, and beauty of the language, as well as the imagery of the stars in the sky.
Lovely! |

Ah, just beautiful. I have no concrit to offer, I'm just moved and delighted. Thank you!
Why do I suspect those socks are still around, fragile now and ancient, passed down through hundreds of generations of hobbits....
....and still never worn? |

Hi Vulgarweed!!
Why do I suspect those socks are still around, fragile now and ancient, passed down through hundreds of generations of hobbits....and still never worn?
*g* And conveniently not mentioned in any of the hobbit Tales of Legend. I have the sneaking suspicion that Merry became more and more sentimental as he aged, and that all things from his time during the fellowship year became more and more dear to him. As an author who tries to be realistic, I swear that Merry must have had some kind of footwear on. The Rohirrim aren't stupid. Hence that element to the story.
I'm thrilled that you so enjoyed it! It's one of my favorites too. Eowyn and Merry are such unlikely, and yet, such necessary, kindred souls. Thank you so much for the review. |
