I thought I'd review here as well. I just read it again and really like the fluffy yet uncloying balance you captured with Boromir and Faramir's interaction. The way Denethor was portrayed in the snapshot we saw of him was such a breath of fresh air in this fandom! He and Thranduil have been villainized, unfortunately. And I still can't get over the Bach translator being my old Classics prof! LOL Good work, N. I love your fics. |

| Lovely piece. I really enjoyed your setting, and you had alovely emotional dynamic between Faramir and Boromir. The first chapter was also very well written; I really liked your choice of the restrained emotion of Denethorn and the emotion of the requiem. Well Done! |

I have to admit that, as usual, I skipped the lyrics. ops: But all the prose in between, and especially chapter 3, was endearing and melancholy. Especially your touch at the end: Boromir declaring that he will be true to himself. Fabulous piece of characterization, especially since he was talking to Faramir, who always seemed to struggle with who he was. Very very nice. |

I enjoyed this piece very much! About the only thing that struck me was that it seemed like chapters 2 and 3 could have been a single one (almost typed "songle"--now there's a Freudian slip of the fingers! ). But that's a tiny thing. I liked the relatively sympathetic view of Denethor, and the characterization of the brothers in chapter 3. Thanks for a good read!

The brothers are very well done in 3. Now --does Boromir win his fight?

| Very nice. I admit that I, also, skipped the lyrics. But, chapter three was priceless. Thank you for sharing. |
