Alaenor-Skybird 2008-05-18 ch 1,	abuseAU, in more ways than one. Denethor in particular seems very out of character. But in all, a very nice fic. Lots of brotherly love and angst! Keep up the good work!
Jimmy Candlestick 2008-03-29 ch 1,	abuseokay...just found it...brilliant!
acacia59601 2008-01-25 ch 1,	abuseWow, great little story! I'm looking forward to the sequel!
ancient midnight 2008-01-23 ch 1,	abusereally, it seams as though the story is only half finished, I was a bit disapointed at the end. other than that the story's great!
Ainaechoiriel 2008-01-22 ch 1,	abuseYou have the makings of a good story here. Lot's of angst and pain. Good brotherly love and righteous indignation. You might need to label it AU as we know Faramir will do fine with a bow in later years. Also, you might want to read through it slowly out loud. That might help you catch all the typos and misspellings and missing words. In the end, it would polish up your story and make it a lot better.
Jess 2008-01-20 ch 1, anon.	abuseWhile whumping Faramir is always welcome, I REALLY liked the ending. Boromir protecting and defending Faramir by getting into Denethor's face was so good. A powerful ending given canon. Thanks for sharing!
a giant gondorian 2008-01-20 ch 1, anon.	abuseI don't like how Boromir spoke to Denethor, but I'm glad he defended Faramir. I don't like the fact that Denethor was nasty to his youngest son.
Cinnamon Plum 2008-01-19 ch 1,	abuseThis was certainly a good story, appealing and with fair premise. Yor prose was not always as sharp and direct as it could've been - I felt it lacking something, as it were - but was easily more than servicable. Your characterization was for the most part good, though it could have been a bit deeper. Two things bothered me in the piece: Firstly, Your typos and your occasional poor grammar and punctuation; Secondly, your portrayal of Denethor. Though I won't deny that Denethor had less love for Faramir than Boromir, I can't see it reaching this extent ever. The line " . . . forgetting as he often did that he wasn’t a king but just a steward . . ." is displeasing in this respect; though Denethor wasn't, for various reasons, necessarily prepared to accept Aragorn's claim, he certainly understood the meaning of kingship in Gondor, as evidenced by what Faramir says in the Tow Towers about Bormir questioning the relative positions of the Kings to the Stewards, and why Denethor isn't the King. I can't see Denethor saying what he says about Faramir even after an awful day with the Palantir . . . you wrote that without explaination, and that, I feel, is poor characterization of Denethor. But this was, as I said, overall a good story.
