Reviews For: A Destined Reckoning

Cynthia 2004-03-18 ch 4, anon.	abuseHigh drama and poetic foreshadowing - got to love it! Nice blending of book and movie along with a perceptive rounding of Lurtz's character. You also really gave Boromir some umph! One of Gondor's best warriors, he certainly came across that way. Thank you.
PhoenixAS Comics 2003-09-09 ch 4,	abuseA sequel would be pleasent, but I leave that to you. Terrific tale.
PhoenixAS Comics 2003-09-09 ch 3,	abuseNow, more than ever I believe you truly know what you're doing.
PhoenixAS Comics 2003-09-09 ch 2,	abuseGraphic, beautiful. You have talent, rest assured.
PhoenixAS Comics 2003-09-09 ch 1,	abuseMasterfully written.
ain't nobody home 2003-06-05 ch 4,	abuseThis is great...well-written, and the characterizations were so good. You've written Boromir and Lurtz so compellingly. (I like both the main characters, and I'm tired of seeing lame fics where Boromir's a one-dimensional evil jerk, and the Uruks are all dumber than a box of rocks...) The part about Osgiliath in chapter 1 was a nice touch too. Anyway, I really enjoyed this!
Brandywine 2003-06-02 ch 1, anon.	abuseI enjoyed reading this so much! The fight between Boromir and Lurtz was very well written and their feelings well described, and it kept me on the edge of my seat when I read it. I think though that my favorite parts were all the little things you wrote so well. For example Boromir´s thoughts about Faramir and how he feels and worries about him, were very touching to read. And I especially enjoyed reading about Eomer and Theodred; thank you so much for including them to the story! The way how you had described them was perfect IMO - Eomer´s youth and vigorous spirit and Theodred´s wisdom brought by age. That´s just a very small thing, but it was probably my favorite part. :) (Which is a very silly thing, because this is about Boromir after all. :D I suppose that tells you how much I liked it all! ;) Also it was very interesting to read about the battle in Osgiliath in the first chapter, because that particular fight has always made me curious - I think that you have captured well the feeling of that fight; the desperation against impossible odds they had to face there.. very good.
resqmi 2003-05-29 ch 4,	abuse"Tastier.." raises an eyebrow indeed. Great short story, a good excuse for a fight. and it has Boromir! even better... as for plurals... "Uruks" and "Uruk-hai" both are acceptable for groups. "Uruk-hais" is not.
Narn1 2003-05-28 ch 4,	abuseHigh quality story as always, Gaslight. I've come to expect nothing less of you. This story took my breath away. Boromir's tension at the end of the third chapter, and beginning of the fourth was masterful. You show a clear understanding of the character...which I already know due to Myrhil's story. I loved reading from Lurtz' perspective-it's a fresh take, a new viewpoint, and I really like it. The ending, however, is my favorite part. Both warriors reactions are well written, and Lurtz' reaction is chill-producing, as well as very satisfying. The only point of crit I have for you is this-Boromir doesn't have golden hair...or at least I don't think so. I recall him being described as having dark hair at the council, but I could be wrong. Thank you for including Theodred...for some strange reason, he's my favorite character in the trilogy...even though we only know of him because he dies...Oh well. I ought to write Theodred's story one day...yeah. I think I will. But anyways...thanks for a great read, and keep it up. Sings You've got a fan in me...
