Erestor the Endless Elocutionist :) I like how he cares for Aragorn like an old teacher that's worried for his pupil. This chapter felt like a real edge of hope, with the thoughts on suicide as the Black Breath is taking hold of him. But even there is his strength shown - I think that most would obey and end their life.
Author's Response: Thank you... I'm so glad you mentioned that you could still see Aragorn's strength even in his despair, because that's what I was trying to show. I think Aragorn can be pushed to the very edge, but his inherent sense of hope won't ever completely fail him. And Erestor... he's just fun to write, that guy! Thanks again for the review! |
