Great job! A very moving and interesting story - really addresses motivation and back-story for Boromir. Very much explains his conflicts when he meets Aragorn at the beginning of the Fellowship. And, of course, touches on the unending sorrow that destroys his father when he
learns of Boromir's death. A very creative rite-of-passage story and expression of this proud
culture. Thank you.

Very well written, very enjoyable read! I don't think there was a single word or concept that didn't make sense and fall into the cannon, while still being an original little peek into characters before the story we all know so well.
Lovely!

Absolutely stunning imagery, and also fitted very nicely to answer a few questions about the Swetwards, Denethor and Boromir. I really enjoyed this - thanks for sharing.

An outstanding depiction of the world of Denethor.

I wonder--does he mean it when he says 10,000 years will not suffice? IIs it meant sincerely? Or is it the bitter cry of an angry man?

It's not often that a fic gets me thinking--but this one did.

Great story! Such a great depiction of Denethor and his son. So often they are both brushed aside as idiots. You've given their actions a real background. I like these two characters and it was good to see a story where they were treated sympathetically.
Wonderful writing! It felt like reading a chapter out of the book itself. Smile smiley face

I enjoyed this. I do not usually read stories concerning Gondor, but was moved to try it. It is well-written. Thank you for opening eyes.
