Oh, temptation! Very nice... dark and despairing and somehow *true*, very lovely anguish indeed!
I'm tucking this away for inspiration some dark and stormy night when light is simply inappropriate |

| You do like those dark moments. I am not as familiar with pre-third age history, but you have peaked my curiosity. Now, where did I put my Simarillion? And Undying Tales? And did someone not warn me to get a copy of Morgoth's Ring? And to think, I will end up getting butter all over everything, from the popcorn. Nicely done. A toast, and I am off to read something else. |

| His neice? Finrod and Finduilas? This was nicely done, short but deep. |

This is one interesting twist on Finrod's reasons for being by Beren's side to the very end. I liked the conflict you presented between hroa and fea, and how only by the death of the hroa will Finrod's fea be cleansed. I could almost sense a feeling of puzzlement on Finrod as I read between the lines ... as if he were still asking to himself "how did I let this happen?"
Short, but definitely enthralling. Great job! |

Wow! I am unsure how to review this. I think the writing was great so props to you on that. But I ended up not liking Finrod. After reading Entulesse where I kind of liked him, now I have read this and I am not sure. Maybe he is such a complex character and that is what you are conveying. At least he felt guilty for his thoughts and didn't act on them. Who is to say that it is horrible to think that way if he didn't act on it and felt guilty for it? Its kind of a catch 22. One, he's a bad man because he thinks these thoughts HOWEVER he's a good man for not acting on them and feeling guilty because of it. And he died to cleanse himself (it wasn't the only reason but it was mentioned) which puts a new spin on it all. Lots to ponder here.  |

| Kudos to you on drawing a powerful portrayal of an elf lord whose initial fondness for his niece turned into a tangled web of dark feelings and poisoned his spirit. The conflict between the body and the soul and Finrod's dreadful realization that only death would be his salvation spiced this one-shot. Great job! |
