Aragorn's early plight was amusing, but it quickly turned, as you know, to the worse! (O, and I did read CaSohG! I find your exchange from movie to book verse very creative. And you can put it on here, only under Dark Comedy... Pentangle did so for Belly Butter, which is so hilarious, but not dark! You *must* read it!) I did find three teeny mistakes, hardly anything. "messenger who was running" "And what of any others, was anyone else missing or hurt?", and one that I lost. But seriously, that's pretty much my only complaint! Which is hard to come by from me... I'm sure age helps, but still. It may be hard to tell, but this amount of critique from me is a *big* achievement for anyone, and to be counted as praise... I do have a special style in reviewing, one that I see rarely *g*. So bear with me.
   Is 'Mahal' Aule? I forget... I'm pretty sure, but not wholly. I found the situation of our favourite Elf and Dwarf very believable, and also very exciting. I can't believe I'm still the only one who's reviewed you here yet! You're a very gifted writer. The plot feels original, and the characters stay well in the personality you've given them. Good work! Not a day in paradise indeed!
