This series is everythin I look for in fanfiction. In a way it's more Tolkien than canon itself. It's true to Tolkien's spirit, it fleshes out his characters and makes them more believable, and I love it!
I am a fan of this intimate narrative style that you employ. You let us follow Boromir's thoughts and feel as he felt, it was precious, thank you. I will now be moving to your other works to read them as well Kudos!

Chevy, the end of chapter four was LEGENDARY! Such a spot on poetic portrayal of Boromir's struggle for hope, I am speechless!

great story!

WOW!
Great story!
Hannon-le!

GAH! MY EMOTIONS! THEY KILL ME!
This was wonderfully done! I have often toyed with the idea that Boromir was tainted by the Shadow before meeting the Ring, and if that would have affected his choices at all.
This was great!

Excellent, a lovely long read to curl up with. My only complaint I'm a Boromir lives girl!
Many thanks really enjoyable.

This last chapter made me tear up :'(

Beautifully written story! I love it!

"They had both wounded him in their different ways" - such a wonderful picture of Denethor's rage and concern and Faramir's hurt. I loved his reasons for choosing to take this journey... much more noble than the "jackass" in the book! :)

This is so nicely written! And I cried at that scene in the movie, too. Congrats!

A truly touching portrait of Boromir.

All those things that you can see in Boromir's face in the movie were perfectly put into words here. AWESOME job!

Aww, the last lines of this chapter were so sweet and sad! Great job describing the battle also. It was just like watching the movie.

Hey, great fic you have here. The interplay between Boromir and Aragorn was truly incredible -it was as if Tolkien himself had been writing. You really got their character's down perfectly. Also, this would explain how Bo knew that Aragorn was only a "mere ranger" at the Council.

I had to wipe away the tears also. It fit so well after Aragorn stated in the previous chapter that he would claim the throne only after he had earned it in Boromir’s eyes. Great choice of an epilogue!

Your attention to detail is phenomenal. You write so wonderfully well. The story pretty much runs the gamut of emotions. I would love to know what you could do with the extended version. Thank you so much for writing and posting this. I thoroughly enjoyed every bit. BTW, what happened to the appendix?

While you are retelling the movie’s storyline, you are adding so much more depth to it. Good job! Oh, so that’s why the wraith just left him there. I just assumed that they destroyed whatever was in their path. Now, would Boromir have been so tempted by the ring had he not been touched with the black breath? It’s an interesting thought. “Then Gondor will see it done”—I know this is the line from the movie but I just realized how prophetic it is. While Boromir was not the one who personally saw it done, Faramir’s choices facilitate Frodo and Sam’s journey and the actions of the army of Gondor turn Sauron’s eye from Frodo and Sam when they are in Mordor. Sorry about that tangent but I just had to tell someone. Imps? Yet another great way to characterize Merry and Pippin. Ah, the beginning of Boromir’s relationship with Merry and Pippin. Great interaction between the three. Another wonderful chapter!
