Ha! So much for never judging a book by its cover. I'd love to say something about how judgemental Paladin was and what a good lesson he learned, but that would be too easy. I think we all make those mistakes. And most of the time (unfortunately) the person we judge wrongly will not have a chance to set things right.
Great story! I love Aragorn in Strider-mode:)
Author's Response: Many thanks for your much appreciated review. I'm pleased you enjoyed this rare Hobbit story of mine. I know all too well that we all tend to judge too much by appearances. |
