Post apocalyptic feels!

Things I liked and found interesting:

- The island being sentient and connected to the people living here. I find this thematically very close to Tolkien's work, in which lands beloved by their inhabitants (Rivendell, Lothlorien but also the Shire) are beautiful and "give back" beauty to their dwellers. Though Luthien and Beren gone, it is a testimony of their character that their lands still remember them.

- Re: The land welcoming Elrond, as an heir to Luthien and Beren, as if the land were a long lost relative.

- Elrond rooting for his Sindarin family. We see a lot of Elrond the Noldo, and some people forget he is also Elrond the Sinda, that Luthien is EPIC and that Elrond would definitly be attracted to this side of the family.

- The attention given to the "commong" details such as shards of pottery. The kind of things that give archeologs little squees.
