The colours and the conflicting tides of magic are amazing in this.

And the voices are compelling, too.

Wow! This is such a magical story. Dreamy somewhat but still so vibrant. OMG! Galadriel is always a little scary. Celebrian in this has brass balls -- with the courage to a little balancing act between this older-than-Maiar creature and her formidable mother! Wow!

Such lovely prose, so many beautiful lines. This is just one of many--like poetry:

she will look back to these days with the added weight of centuries lived, and remember when Lothlórien was alive, and think that the forest was very, very old, and she was so very young

This is gorgeous! Celebrían's narration is captivating and oh-so-voicey, and you've captured her perfectly has she hangs in the balance between two strong and different women. I love all of this.
