Vastly beautiful! Yet another work of art. And this no waiting for updates thing? I could get used to that. *evil grin*

A jewel of a story indeed! I love your touch with character and detail, as always, and this has certainly come very, very close to making up for my horrible case of Kinstrife withdrawal!

I would love to hear more about Brand, especially if he is to meet his paternal relatives sometime.

How satisfying. The child will be loved and raised with the right kind of discipline and a chance to have a decent life. And he's happy. There's not much more you can ask for. Oh. And Andrahar is happy too. :-)

OK. I have to pause in my reading to say I had a shiver running down my spine from the time Brand told about his dream of Numenor. This is just compelling and thrilling!
