Ered beat me to the new chapters! It is simply great, you manage to picturize the sad battle through your characters while underlining their different personalities, Glorfindel is singing and bantering with Erestor. Elrond is noble. Thranduil is brave.

Once again I was reading it from start to end. Marvellous. I mean the way you managed to put together all those threads starting from the 1st sunset in Lindon where Elrond falls in love to the last sunset when they are in Imladris after making love....I was amazed.

 

It's simply incredible how the characters are made to each have their own personalities and fitting in with the larger pic. 

 

The Song Of Sunset according to me is the single most sensual, touching, angsty tolkien fanfic. LOL! I really feel that your final note describes the fic...

 I wanted every character to be grey having their own virtues and failings. Regrets, circumstances and desire make each character in my story what they are.

 You have done a great work out there....keep it flowing!

Anoriel and Thranduil are perfect together, I want them to be happy till they sail at the end...their love is so perfect..loved the part where they meet....

Ah, I beat Ered to this...

Oh so touching, I feel so sad for both Elrond and Erestor. You have made Elrond seem so noble, the way I have always pictured him...

And poor Celebrian also.

Oh! A cliff hanger, wonder what Elrond will do now?

Feel worried for Erestor, and  wish Gil hadn't died. You made it look so real, I was able to imagine him facing Sauron bravely knowing that he was gonna die, it was amaazing.Waiting to know what Elrond will now do.

Agree with Ered, Galadriel don't deserve forgiveness that easily! But the chapter was written well, just like this one. Erestor is splendid in this, I like this much more than the Erestor/Glorfindel pair i used to read. Waiting for more.

Yes, I have received your mail, I don't generally check that particular account, thats why. And another great chapter!!

 

Keep writing. 


Reviewer: lovelegollas Signed starstar
Date: October 02, 2008 Title: Chapter 32: Chapter 32. The Parting

It is yet another great chapter. You blend all the characters so well. Oropher and Thranduil's talks are always my favourite. I wish they did not have to go for the battle.

Elrond is a noble elf. I wish Erestor sees his love and then they get together finally. Its sad to see Elrond suffering like this.

 And I hate Gil-galad. He does not make a good mate for Erestor. Can't wait for more.

 


Reviewer: lovelegollas Signed starstarstarstarstar
Date: October 02, 2008 Title: Chapter 34: Chapter 34. The Journey To Mordor 2

Great chapter. I hate Isildur! How can he insult Oropher like that?

Why was Elendil just simply standing by? I wish Thranduil and Anoriel just sailed for Valinor after the battle. 

Another thing I like in this series is the deep friendships of Erestor, Elrond, Thranduil, Glorfindel etc. You have made it look so natural.

Great going, but I wish Oropher won't die. He doesn't deserve to die.

'A stubborn Maglor was worse than a stubborn Feanor' nice line! It shows the character of Feanorians so well. And even in the Heat from the ashes, your Maedhros is a sensitive person. Different viewpoint than usual. 

 

And I enjoyed the scene where Fingon plays the peeping tom. Once more you have shown your skill in making a embarassing situation touching.

 

Looking forward to next chapters.

“Something that was once me is now here, Macalaurë, though I do not know which part of me has returned.”

 

That sentence was so touching! I simply love the way you do tragic situations.

 

This was a great chapter...with Maglor comforting his brother and Fingon's promise. And Maedhros saying that he wishes to be king....you have a way of looking into the character..waiting for the next chapter.

 

And like Ered, I am sorry for such a long review. But I had to!

I love Natasha's song! Only you could make something like that into a tolkien fic! It was good. Ered beat me to the review, but I have to say : : :

I AM SO HAPPY THAT THEY GOT TOGETHER! I love the Song Of Sunset, but it is very emotional. You write emmotions excellent manner, but it is great to see you write something lighter too!

She laughed humourlessly, “Erestor, diplomacy is not needed here. You have never needed me. My son is grown enough. His father and Cirdan will care for him. And your friend will survive. If he doesn’t, I will not say that he did not deserve it.”

 


“Take this to him”, she gave the unfinished banner, “I have nothing else. I wish him peace if he can find it.”

 

As the ship disappeared into the horizon, he sank onto his knees in the sand and buried his face in his hands. He no longer knew what to pray for. He no longer knew which of the Valar to beg. 

 

These lines struck my heart. A powerful chapter. Angst, tragedy and sacrifice. Phew, your words are so intense. Each emotion strikes our core as we read.

I am worried for Amroth. I hate Nimrodel. Hope they are safe....And Celebrian and Erestor's scene was beautiful. I had hated her before. But now  I understand her better. AS ever you manage to make me love even the characters I hated. Erestor is so noble. The scene was wonderful!!! 


Reviewer: lovelegollas Signed starstarstarstarstar
Date: December 09, 2008 Title: Chapter 22: Chapter 22. A Counsellor's Dilemma 3

As Ered said, the number of love stories in this novel is sheerly amazing. Only someone like you can do this so deftly, subplots and twists! Wow, wow, and wow!

I loved this chapter. Thranduil is reunited with Anoriel and Celeborn and Galadriel are better terms. Celebrian is not aware of Elrond and Erestor, Glorfindel has another chance at love again, hope he doesnt break MEl's hearts.

 


Reviewer: lovelegollas Signed starstarstarstarstar
Date: December 09, 2008 Title: Chapter 21: Chapter 21. A Counsellor's Dilemma 2

What happened to Celebrimbor? And is Gandalf going to find more about Lindir? Waiting wagerly. Erestor is one of your strongest characters. I love them all, and Gildor too. Erestor-Gildor relationship is powerful, as are all your wonderful freindships.

“My Lady Elbereth”, Erestor glanced at the sky, “It must seem very amusing from there, I guess.”

 

Poor Erestor...I mean Glor is not gonna accept Mel, is he?? And Rumil too. How could he even think of falling for Celeborn? Sighs...the plot gets more tangled. only you can successfully track each subplot and move smoothly. Salutes!

The Balrog Slayer sighed, he would never comprehend Celeborn’s married life. Nobody probably would.

That is true, one difficult marraige!

 

Wonder how Erestor will deal with Rumil now...he always has to sort out tangled love affairs! 


Reviewer: lovelegollas Signed starstarstarstarstar
Date: November 25, 2008 Title: Chapter 18: Chapter 18. Revelations 2

Loved this chapter. Many reasons why :

#1. Celeborn is a great father trying to help his daughter thru the diffiuclt situation. I felt so much of pity for him. And when Galadriel comes, he doesn't want to let her attend to the labor alone fearing for his daughter's safety. I mean, his situation : torn between his duty as a father and his love for his wife...

 #2. Galadriel, hate her or love her, you simply can't ignore her strong character. Phew! She's one courageous lady. Right now I love her... 

 #3. Elrond and Erestor's scene was perfect, glad to see them finally enjoyin their love!! Hope it lasts before the next tragedy comes.

#4. The conversation betwn Celeborn and Galdreil. I cried, it was so touching...

“It is”, Erestor sighed, “Thranduil told me that ‘Bria is in labour. That I slept with Elrond exactly when his wife is in labour with my child, Glorfindel, the Valar have an extremely unhealthy sense of humour.”

 

Valar are extremly hardhearted! No wonder Erestor is so torn betwn guilt & love. The way you write such situations without making extrasentimental speeches...perfect! AS Ered said, it felt too short. 



Author's Response: Yes, Erestor's plight is something I do pity!

Reviewer: lovelegollas Signed starstarstar

I am so happy that they finally joined. But Mithrandir is sharp right? Won't he know about Elrond's one-sided bond?

Reviewer: lovelegollas Signed starstarstarhalf-star
Date: November 21, 2008 Title: Chapter 15: Chapter 15. The Harbringer 2

Reviewer: lovelegollas Signed starstarstarstar

I mean Galadriel is one awesome lady, firm to save her kin...Hope that she succeeds (in canon, she does right??)

I mean I start to think they might, but you turn the plot again. Predictablilty is one thing I have never seen here! All cliffhangers and smooth turns. And the use of the Silmarillion lines

Oh Heavens This is the most intense chapter in the story. I mean you have now managed to entangle Silmarillion with this story. Galadriel's motives are clearer. Now I get the bigger plot. Elrond, Erestor, Gildor, Melorian, Galadriel and all other descendants of Finwe( who married twice) they are unlucky in love..

And poor Cel too, she's in a tough position, is it me alone thinking or is Cel attracted to Erestor???

 

Great chapter. as always!
