Not good! Evil cliffie... The interaction between Faramir and Elbeth is quite fascinating, especially the part where she practically forgives him. I guess that's exactly what Faramir needed to hear in that moment. And let's hope he'll hear the same words from Aragorn in the not so distant future.
Author's Response: Thank you for these much appreciated reviews.I'm pleased you like Faramir and Elbeth.They make a return in "The Spirit of Gondor" |

I see little Elbeth comes in useful. Of course her easy accord with Aragorn will cause Faramir all kinds of minority complexes - which is just normal for him, but pretty tragic at this point in time. Also, I'm wondering how much of Aragorn's reaction to Faramir is genuine and how much is the fever talking. I guess I'll only find out by reading further:)
Author's Response: One of my friends said at least Faramir was wise enough to accept Elbeth's help however painful! All will soon be revealed about Aragorn. |

Ah, so he is going to take Elbeth with him? This is going to prove interesting... A wounded king, a friend who thinks him a traitor, a girl who can talk a mile a minute. Faramir will suffer from burnout before he knows it!
Author's Response: Poor Faramir certainly has his hands full! |

Ah, come on Faramir! You know the solution to your dilemma and it's not that dagger... Men can be so dense:)
Author's Response: Of course the fact they are dense helps us angt writers considerably! |

Ah, and so you're back with Aragorn's POV! So, not suprisingly, he was quite brave until now. But I feel what will happen once he starts to believe that Faramir decided to betray him.
Author's Response: It was a great relief to return to Aragorn's POV. I fear it will break him feeling that Faramir has let him down so badly when he trusted him. Thank you for these appreciated reviews. |

Ha! As soon as I read the quote from "Julius Caesar" I knew what this chapter would be about and you didn't disappoint! Well chosen!
Author's Response: THank you, the quote seemed made for the chapter! |

I've always wondered what a Rohirrim would do if he was afraid of horses. Great that you could answer that question for me!
Author's Response: I'm glad I answered that question ! |

Very good for Faramir that he has an accomplice now. He really needed to confide in someone - and in the end it's always better if you have someone else to discuss ideas and thoughts with. He will leave much more confidently now.
Author's Response: I think Tarostar just appeared at the right moment for Faramir.His decisiom to confide will prove important. Thank you for these lovely reviews.I appreciate them. |

And so it begins! I fear Faramir is way too trusting and good-natured to be good at scheming, but with the stakes so high I assume he'll be a fast learner!
Author's Response: You are right.Faramir is not a natural deceiver, but with both Aragorn and Gondor at stake, he will have to learn to be. |

The embroidered drawers are a nice touch! I know my father has a whole set of bedclothes and towels where his initials are embroidered. Nowadays it's something of the past, but even so not too long ago it was common practice... By the way, you're evil to stay with Faramir's POV all the time. (Yes, yes, I understand all about tension and wanting to have the reader at the edge of his seat). But I'd love to have a glimpse of Aragorn - first hand, since Faramir refuses to believe he's still alive. I think though, that Arwen will make him see sense soon:)
Author's Response: I'm glad you liked the embroidered drawers. They made a comeback as Raksha liked them in "Burden of Guilt". To be honest,it almost drove me crazy not writing chapter after chapter from Aragorn's POV.I missed him dreadfully ! |

I like Arwen's reaction! Must be the romantic in me:) I know you said in the beginning this would be Aragorn/Faramir centric, but I hope she keeps popping up!
Author's Response: I'm pleased you like Arwen in this.I promise she has quite a large part to play later in the story. |

I like how you describe the dynamic between Aragorn/Faramir/Eowyn here. It sounds very plausible to me, made even better by the fact that no one envies the other his/her "relationship" with the third person. They complement each other - I especially like the contrast between Eowyn's outgoing character and Faramir's shyness. Yes, very good!
Author's Response: Many thanks for your much appreciated review.I'm pleased you like the relationships. I think all the characters are wise enough to understand they need one another. |

Oh, this lends itself *so well* to speculation! Of course, seeing the many chapters ahead (and trusting you implicitly), I don't believe Aragorn is truly dead. But this only leads to the conclusion that something is really rotten in the state of Denmark!
Author's Response: Many thanks for your much appreciated review.I think I fooled hardly anyone even on sites where you don't have to warn of character deaths! |

Uohhh, so Faramir was already too late in thinking about how he could silence those lords? Have they taken matters into their own hands? That would explain his strange dream...
Author's Response: Many thanks for your much appreciated review. Yes,it is already too late! |

Looks like some kind of influenza to me? Though, the fact that it's unlikely to affect the same person twice, doesn't fit *shrugs*. Anyway, Aragorn working himself into exhaustion will not help him with his treacherous nobles. Because when he has his eyes elsewhere, they'll scheme right under his nose:(
Author's Response: Many thanks for your much appreciated review. yes, it is meant to be a type of flu. I thought that maybe so long ago the virus did mutate like it does now,so catching it once would confer immunity. |
