I don't know if it was your intention, or is this only my feeling, but this chapter is so tense and eerie. Of course, I am not even sure I used the right words to express myself, which complicates things even more... Anyway, "tense and eerie" in a good way - the feeling that makes reader hold his breath while reading, wanting to know and read more as soon as possible.

Am I making any sense?*huh*



Author's Response:

Yes, you're making sense!  There is a touch of "eerie" to this chapter, because of the way in which Aragorn healed little Owen Estel.  To someone like Bowen and Flora... and really, to you or I or anyone other than the Elves and the Dunedain and the Maia... that sort of healing touch would seem completely otherworldly and mystifying and in some ways scary.  So yes, there was a bit of an eerie feeling about this chapter by design. :)   And yes, there was also tension built into the chapter, both with the baby and with Denlad.  Lots to keep a reader reading, I hoped, and it seems it worked for you! :)   Thanks for the review, Ellynn!
