That fanfic was AWESOME!

actually I HAVEN'T read it. just writing something so that I CAN SUBSCRIBE TO STORY :)

It will be interesting to see how you resolve the conflict.

Great story. This was a very well done AU that could have happened had Frodo wavered and was lulled by the words of Boromir. That said, I'm glad that Boromir himself got to stick around and carry out his rightful duty as Steward of Gondor.

I was actually hoping that Sauron would win and that you would take the chance to describe a ME under Sauron's rule. Even so, I am glad of the changes you made and they made sense. Radagast's fear of Gandalf after taking the One Ring (though had Radagast actually DONE something rather than dick around Rhosgobel speaking to buzzards this may have been prevented) was genuine and in character with the timid and somewhat cowardly brown wizard.

Everything about this story was well done, especially characterization and tension toward the end concerning Gandalf still made sure to make this story interesting even though Sauron was defeated.

This...was...amazing. That's all I can say.

dude great story with a great ending. loved it

alright man my first few beefs about this story. its amazing. dont get me wrong. i love it. but several things id like to say. first. how many numbers made up the free army? come on man give us a number! and as for the battles... it just seemed lacking. all of a sudden steel on steel yada yada yada? it was pretty sad to me. but ill keep reading see if it gets better

I know it's a long time since you posted this story, and so you might not see this, but i can't help but review after reading such a good story.
It was very well written, and despite being an AU, more true to the source than any other LOTR fic I've read. Something i espicially liked was your description of the Three and their bond with their bearers. It's something Tolkien never talked about(as far as i can remember), but what you have written would fit perfectly in with the rest of his universe.

I don't think I know a more unique LOTR story. Excellent idea, great writing, fabulous characterisations. I think I will review a little bit more in the future when I will be rereading the story. For now I put it, just not to lose it, to my alerts, despite it's finished, but I think I know what I will do with it once I am once more through. (-:

This is amazing. Absolutely amazing. It's one of the most brilliant pieces of AU I've ever read. You are an incredible writer. If I ever see Night Rider anywhere I will definitely pick it up.

Great things about the story that have stuck with me long enough that they're still fixed in my head now I've reached the end:

The voices of the rings, not just the one but the three as well. The relationship that their bearers have with them and how it hurts them that Sauron possesses them. That Narya is able to help Gandalf destroy the one.

The way you've written the characters. I think you've done a terrific job in getting inside their heads, especially Gandalf which is an even greater achievement for the fact he’s not human.

Denethor’s consistent gittishness (not the most elegant word to use I know, but he doesn’t deserve a better one) and the tearing of his relationship with his sons.

this is an amazing story!

Really in the spirit and style of the real thing and when you read it I really feel that this is EXACTLY as canon would have evolved.

Good job and really really tnx

I have not had the pleasure of reading Lord of the Rings fanfiction for quite some time. It sent shivers up and down my spine because the story was so different than the original, yet very believable in its own right. The style and voice you've incorporated is also very different to what many other people use on FFN, so it was a good change and break from the other fics I've been reading.

And I do love Boromir having the chance to stick around.

This was a wonderful story! Great characterisation and you really made me love Gandalf. I'm impressed with how you've portrayed everything realistically. (As realistic as it could be, that is. ;D). I've read the story non-stop and I really like it. Well done!

This story is incredible. Though I didn't read every word of it since I didn't have the time, it really got my heart pumping. Amazing piece of writing.

Gandalf forever!

cool
