Oh, I do like Thranduil! It´s always nice to read about him, especially when he´s not described as a mean, arrogant and child-abusing tyrant! 
Very good, very hot! I wouldn´t mind cheering him up! 
The characterization is credible and the language flows nicely.
Speaking of language; as a fellow Swede, it feels ridiculous to write this entirely in english, sooo....
Jag är väldigt imponerad av att du skriver så bra på ett annat språk än ditt modersmål. Gud, vad jag är avundsjuk! 
Kram,
Anna
PS. Why does Thranduil speak Quenya and not Sindarin? It is Quenya, right? |

How annoying to have so many hits already and so few reviews.
You are swedish? Well then let me say that I am very impressed with your English. The only word that bothered me was 'maiden' at the end. Strictly speaking a maid or maiden was a 'virgin' and she most definately wasn't that anymore.... and Thranduil knew that.
Very nice little story. Welcome to OS. |

I like this Thranduil; gentle, honorable and smart. I really like how you focus on the romance instead of the actual sex. Described just enough so the reader knows what's going on (and find arousing) but not drawing the attention away from the real issue.
I don't know if it was your intent but the end had the feeling of an Elven ritual, and I liked it. Just imagine the looks!!!

Aww, this is soooo good!
"Mandos' gentler brother." - I love that! Just a single sentence example of the quality of your writing.
And yes, agreeing with everyone else, it IS nice to see Thranduil portrayed as a proper Elf rather than some random rapist or child-abuser etc. Nice job! |

| I so enjoy seeing Thranduil in a softer light. It is so easy to write him as "the bad elf" and he does fit that persona well. Still, this is a nice departure. |

| I guess it is bad form for a beta to review the story she beta'd for you, but here goes anyway. You already know how much I love the king, so I dont have to remind you about that. But, I do want to say, in my defense, that the word "maiden" used in the story was entirely grammatically appropriate given that there are few words Tolkien gives us in his Elvish language to denote an unmarried mortal woman. |

| At first I was kind of like, ok well he's being nice to her and not turning her down and blah blah blah... but then at the end when he came to find her after he learned she had been a virgin, sooooo cute! |
