I absolutely loved this, as I love all your E/L stories! Can't wait for the next one!

Why, oh, why didn't I find this story earlier?
It captivated me and simply everything else got dropped until I had finished it.
Superbly written!

Well you've done it again and out did yourself. Your tides of Destiny was your best series yet. Keep up the great work! D

This is such a bittersweet ending to the Tide of Destiny series. Luckily, you left out Lothiriel's actual death. I loved to follow the exploits of the next generation of princes through Lothiriels eyes.
A very enjoyable read!

If you only add the word complete to the summary and don't mark your whole story complete, many readers (who are as annoyed of indefinitely incomplete stories as I am) can not find them. Please consider to mark them appropriately.

As always your tales are great from start to finish! Bravo from a devoted fan!

Wow, you've made it! Congratulations on finishing and it's been a pleasure to be along on this journey. Now for the next ;-)

I cannot tell you how sad I am that this series has ended. I have read and loved them all.

My face is wet with tears LBJ. A most fitting conclusion to your epic story. I found Lothiriel's emotions completely believable. I hope you will get inspiration for a new story for Eomer and Lothiriel. :)

Oh, how lovely to wake up and find this waiting in my inbox, though I am sorry it has ended. Nice wrapping up of the threads, and realistic portrayals of thoughts and emotions all around. Well done!

Couple of typos:

...cramped with jealously - s/b jealousy

...'We thought the worst,' my lady.' - an extra quote mark in there

So we have finally come to the end and I should be satisfied...I certainly am, despite the nagging uncertainty why Guleth never married again.

I admire the convincing way you showed Lothíriel's conflicting feelings at seeing the obvious resemblance of father and son. The fact that Halmir looked so much like Éomer while Elfwine had obviously her features had me wonder if she would be able to really accept him. But then, it certainly made it possible to have Halmir accepted without much doubt in Rohan. But I have to admit it had never occured to me that otherwise Lothíriel would have been regularly confronted with his mother's traces. Chapeau!

Thank you for sharing with us.

Thank you for this. You've tied up all the ends beautifully, and kept the depth, characterisation and detail all the way through. I've really enjoyed it.

I absolutely love that Lothiriel is going to talk to Halmir. I also really likes the way Eomer handled that. He stood up for Halmir's mother and I think that will help Halmir come to terms with all of this eventually. To know Eomer actually cared for her will be huge once he gets over the shock. I look forward to your next update! I hope you are well and all is well with you, you are definitely one of my favorite ff writers!

Quite the angsty chapter! But you've hit everyone's emotions most accurately. I'm looking forward to seeing how you develop this to its conclusion (and even though it's an E/L story, I would enjoy more Erchirion/Inayah, too!).

Some typos:

...and that is seemed everyone else was getting changed for supper. - s/b "that IT seemed"

...As I said explanations are due to you and you might find they come as a bit of a shock to you as well.' - probably should add a comma after "As I said", and possibly before "and"

...'Call me for anything you like - omit "for"

...Deep in his thoughts, Éomer didn't look up immediately the door opened, but when he did, he smiled his relief, - possibly add "WHEN the door opened"

To be concluded sounds like the next chapter will be the last which I have mixed feelings about. On one hand the story deserves to be completed but on the other hand I am sorry to say goodbye to the characters.:( Hope you have more Eomer/Lothiriel scenarios yet to pen LBJ. :)

I figured Halmir would be angry at the revelations but imagine there is a whole lot of hurt underneath the anger. Of course Lothiriel is the calming voice of reason. :)
