abusePlease read all this review carefully...for the first couple of lines may sound unpleasant when they are not meant that way.

I'm not a Christian, I was born one and now follow a Pagan path. As such, I don't personally believe Christ was actually God come to Earth in the shape of a man, but a divinally inspired human.

HOWEVER, all that said, I LOVED this story. For in suspending my belief system, I can see where, as Christians believe, Christ would have been able to forgive Maglor. It rings true, and is a lovely tale. I throughly enjoyed it, and you know what? I'm sure you would have Tolkien's complete approval for this story. Very well done!

abuseA very sweet and moving piece. This Christian redemption theme works for Maglor for some reason and imagining Christ from the perspective of an Elf is instructive and satisfying. Well done.

(As a side note, Deborah wrote a similar, but Epiphany-themed, piece about Maglor and the Christ-Child. It should still be somewhere on this site, you may want to look it up if you're not familiar with it already. I can try to find the title if you want.)

abuseThat was Jesus Christ, wasn't it? I loved it! Maglor's grief shall be no more! Though, I don't think Tolkien meant for Eru to be seen as Yahweh, but I still thought your idea was an interesting one! I wonder what would happen if Yahweh and Eru really met, though! That really would be an entertaining story!

abusewell done! You "captured" Maglor and "released" him well.

abuseOh! this was just PERFECT!

I'm sitting here smiling so wide and my eyes still want to weep at the same time... it is so moving! I could FEEL Maglor's grief during those days of darkness before the Christ came to him. And I could feel his joy!

Wonderful story! Well done! I'm putting this on my favorites list!
