Reviews for A Game of Chess |

![]() ![]() I'm glad you have a zero tolerance of domestic violence. |
![]() ![]() 2years of emotional seperation is a loooong time. I hope you give them time to get to know each other. |
![]() ![]() I'm glad Eowyn is not in ignorance anymore, but to be the last to know of your husband's illness is such a slight, that I do not think a marriage can survive it. Angry words are a different thing all together. |
![]() ![]() :( I agree that all the things that trouble Faramir are complex and it takes a lifetime to heal from a lifetime of abuse, but.. I hate when people who love each other are estranged for years and years. When in a story there is war and strife and quarreling for 1000 pages and then a reconciliation in the last 5 pages, I'm always left feeling like there was nothing good between the quarreling parties. After 1000 pages of grief I need at least 30 pages of joy ;) |
![]() ![]() Deep wounds heel slowly. I hope Eowyn forgives him in time. |
![]() ![]() I hope Eowyn's resolve stays strong. |
![]() ![]() I'm scared. Help! Imrahil seems to have made things worse. |
![]() ![]() I hate this anger and hasty words. |
![]() ![]() I hope they do not come to think that their love is lost. |
![]() ![]() :) I'm glad you show the darker side of heroes, like Tolkien did with Frodo and Bilbo, dark events change you. I think you're correct in thinking Eowyn might not know much about human pregnancies. |
![]() ![]() Sounds like a good wedding, a wedding I would have liked to attend :) |
![]() ![]() ![]() Horray, an Eowyn/Faramir fic that is good and true to their characters! I feel like I've found the Arkenstone! :) I will have to come back to finish this, but I didn't want to add it to my Favorites without leaving at least one review, lest you think me a lurker: I promise to leave a much better review upon finishing. |
![]() ![]() ![]() Wow, what a great way to spend an afternoon, reading this lovely fic! I love how you've captured the flavor of Tolkien's writing style. I was a little nervous about the misunderstanding premise, because I dislike fics where the main conflict can be solved by sitting the involved parties down to tea, but you have actual reasons why the conversation never happens which really work for the characters. I like that you got them back together slowly and gently, too, with no magic bullets. Well done! |
![]() ![]() ![]() Oh, wow, this is beautiful. Your character voices are compelling and real, your usage of words elegant and your plot like - wow, I find myself somewhat inarticulate in expressing myself about this story, for it has almost provoke tears of both sadness and happiness. It's an exquisitely drawn look at war and individuals and family, and I adore your Eowyn and your Faramir, and this entire creation. Thank you so much for writing it, and I am worry that I am so blown away by it that I am somewhat inarticulate! |
![]() ![]() ![]() I loved it! It made me cry so much and then it had such a sweet ending! I hope it flatters you that I was late to school because of this fic! w |
