This is something I've been wanting to review for a long time. I simply love this. It's both beautiful and haunting at the same time; you can really feel Maedhros and Maglor's pain. The two finding Elrond and Elros at the end is lovely. :)

I just have been reading your new fic and went to read some of your other. Unfortunately I can't read them all since my french is rather, umm, crappy, you might call it :)

But this here is... haunting. I especially liked that sentence:

Since nothing made sense nothing made sense nothing made sense that day when Sirion burned afar.

Wow.

nothing DOES make sense, but your language & imagery were magnificently haunting. the comparison of their features to the stars, the heavens, and nature is so appropriate for Elvenkind. beautiful

Absolutely Beautiful! The writing was soo exquisite. You made the images come to life. I hope you continue this story, it was soo good! Keep it up!

Absolutely amazing! Your style makes this piece so effective. One thing was a little strange, though. You seem to have semicolons everywhere. "Two children staggering blindly ; nay, two adults, with old eyes, dead and empty eyes ; lost and haggard ; with faces pale and thin ; distraught with pain ; and blood-stained hands." This happens in a lot of places. I think commas would work much better.

wow. I really liked this. You really feel sorry for them all :( the 'nothing made sense' bits were a tad confusing but the storyline was clear and very clever.
