This was a sweet chapter:) I adore Elfwine's baby talk and he is very observant. I loved this chapter!

Ariana

Wow, this was a great chapter! I'm glad that Haiweth is alright.

There was a tiny mistake (I think):

"Had Heahtor still been alive, Gúthwyn would have shared the saddle with Haiweth; but Sceoh could barely handle one rider, let alone two."

I think you mean her horse (I can't remember how to spell his name)?

I loved Eomir's reaction to what Hammel said to Guthwyn, this was a brilliant chapter!

Ariana

Wow,

this was a great chapter! I adore this story so much, and I feel sorry for Lotheriel's tutor. So, was Lotheriel pure when she married Eomir?

Great chapter!

Ariana

This was a great chapter. I'm really glad Cobryn is going as well, though in one of Elphir's (how do you pronounce his name, btw?) letters, he did say she could go to the training field, if I remember correctly.

This was a great chapter,

Ariana

wow...I just finished reading the whole rohan pride trilogy plus epilogue and have to say I am profoundly thankful you shared the story with us...definitely one of the greatest lotr fanfiction i have come upon in a long time...i am hooked up and looking forward to your next update... really, i pulled a couple of all-nighters reading, it is addictive. you have my admiration

Wow. I liked this chapter, I'm glad she accepted Legolas' help. I love that amazing Elf so much! I'm confused about your author note? but this really was amazing.

Ariana

Wow, that was a great chapter. I feel sorry for Guthyn, grief never really does leave us, I should know, having lost both my grandmothers. My mother's mother died on the 8th of December (2 days after my 21st birthday last year) and my father's mother died on the 11th of December that same year. Death is hard, but it makes one stronger and wiser.

This was a beautiful and sad and well-written chapter.

Ariana

Wait, wait, wait: so now Guthwyn is actually looking forward to seeing Legolas? And there wasn't any bit of nervousness in thinking about seeing him?(smiles incredibly wide and gives a little "whoop!") I'm curious to see how the whole Guthwyn/Dol Amroth thing goes down and as I've said before, I can't wait for this ball!

i have finally gotten to the end of this series, well hopefully not the end! I'm in love with this book! I truly hope you update asap and Guthwyn better have a happy ending! I was rooting for Elphir but after what he said to her even though it wasn't his fault or hers I hope she finds someone...I hope it works out with 'Leggy'.. and a little part of me exactly feels sorry for Lothiriel...but only a little... Please update ASAP!

I am so very impressed with your writing. I am eagerly awaiting the next chapter. :D

I love your trilogy and I was happy to see the update :) Good job!

Hmmmm. Amrothos sick? That's interesting. I'm surprised Haiweth didn't sneak out, she seems like the type to have at least a little rebellion in her. Hammel definitely does XD

I have truly enjoyed Guthwyn's saga. It has been a gripping,often heart-wrenching drama. I am always pleased when I see that you have updated. That being said, I agree with a previous reviewer that the story is moving a little slowly for the rate of the updates. I think that as a character, Guthwyn has been through hell. I think that as a reader, her journey has alternately horrified me, touched me, and moved me to tears. But she's starting to annoy me. Now please understand, I am not saying that your story annoys me in any way. I adore it... but for a story titled "Recovery," it's time to see a little more of it. I understand that with the trauma she has experienced that it is life altering, and doesn't just go away. But, it has been several years since the war, and it's time for her to grow up now. Part of recovery is achieving some measure of self-awareness, and Guthwyn has very little of that. I'm not in a hurry for her to get well all of a sudden, or even to have her jump into any kind of relationship (although I am enjoying her growing trust in Legolas)... but it is time for her to at the very least put the children in their places. She is their mother-figure, their rescuer, and at the very least, their elder. It's time for her to put her foot down and let Haiweth have it. Yes, Haiweth's desire to cut the apron strings is natural, but Guthwyn is the adult. It's time for her to act like it.

Your story is incredibly well written, and your characters engaging (I think I'm a little in love with Cobryn). I anxiously await the next installment, and while I don't expect you to redesign the pacing of your story based on one review, I do hope that you can see that as a reader it feels like the progress of her healing is very slow indeed. We are markedly far into the story, and I just hope to see a little more self-discovery soon. I hope you have a wonderful week, and happy writing.

Oooh, I really can't wait until this ball!

I thought Guthwyn's overreaction to Haiweth's request was both funny and sad at the same time. Hopefully her own struggles do not do too much harm in her relationship with the kids.

Interesting to see Dol Amroth brought back into the storyline.
