This story is so amazing!! I loved every second of it (too much...I stayed up until 2 am on a work night to finish it, lol).

I really like your descriptions of the different characters. They all seem so fleshed out and realistic and personable.

"Melian's general uncertainty regarding what consisted of useful and acceptable skills for an Incarnate"

"Young not in the sense of age – indeed, in years she might well be older than he – but in the same sense that he has always been young. The sense of having lived a charmed life insulated from the weight of responsibility, always with an elder kinsman standing in the shadows to pick them up when they fall, loss and grief an abstract idea."

Everyone in this story is so compelling. I was sad when Finrod died, even though I knew it was about to happen! The twist though, about Elladan and Gil-Galad, I did not see coming at all!

This was a really fun (and a little heartwrenching) story! I thoroughly enjoyed it :)
