It is fascinating to see another side to Galadriel. You made me feel sorry for the Orcs.

This is a really good story. I have read at least one other of yours in this same universe as to know who is who and what is what. It might be a bit more difficult for others. Maybe you could throw a link or two to other related stories of yours into the summary?

It is a powerful, painful, and suspenseful story. Very gracefully written and with strong characterization. Wow the Elves turned into Orcs is one the pieces of canon that I do not include in my stories! Yikes. It's awful. You handle is beautifully here. Give the pain and terrible sadness of it and tie back into the darkness which they are fighting. Loved everyone--Beleg, Celeborn, Galadriel, and Finrod. Like the cultural differences questions which you introduce and develop.
