Sylvanlight, Book I by slflew

Fanwork Information

Summary:

What if Feanor's accusations to the Valar were correct?

What if everything you hoped for was a lie?

Valinor is not the paradise expected to be; Earendil's star has fallen - is it the beginning of Dagor Dagorath?

Prologues are sometimes a hit and a miss, but this one is so immensely well written that I found myself holding my breath as the image you presented washed over me. Perhaps it has also to do that we just had a period of such warmth and restless nights here, but still: my compliments. I now really find myself wanting to read further...

I just reminded myself to drop a review before I continue to read, this is such a pleasant read that before I know it, I've reached the end of the next chapter.

 Gwen is very content with her life, close to nature and its elements and perhaps a tad old for her age :) Many of her age would want to spent holiday on a beach, getting drunk and such. But she already seems to be so content with what she has and it is such a wonderful characterisation.
