Ohhhh! I wish there was more to read! I’ve really enjoyed it so far, read it through 2 or 3 times now and just realized (again) it’s not quite finished, lol. Love your writing though; it’s so nice to see things from another’s perspective that isn’t usually considered. Good work!

Dear Zoop,
I know that currently you are working on a Legion fic and it's not (much) wonder because I imagine that is a fresher inspiration for you. BUT
You need to know that then and again, over and over I come back to your stories, especially this one, and I keep reading it, and without exaggeration I know some of your marvelous conversations by heart(!) I like how your characters interact, how much they differ from oneanother, and how they behave around eachother.
I think one of my favourite parts of your story is when Rukh finds the bigger Uruk party, and Romana starts to help them. Your attention to detail is spot-on. For example the way Erkenbrand wonders about the Uruk-hai, when they are transporting them to the Hornburg. Honestly I think my favourite character's gotta be Burzash. He's such an awesome character, and I absolutely like the idea of him being a leader, even though his rank would suggest otherwise - and actually it makes sense. Surely Saruman sensed his characteristics and condemned him weak by his standards and probably that's why aggressive ones got higher ranks like Maukum.
Hunwald is a cheerful and bright spot in your story. I didn't know that I could attach myself for a pretty minor char of yours but he is so chill, I like the way he treats Maukum.
Another thing that I always like to think about - after finding out that yea, still, it is only 44 chapters - is Foshán and the way you introduced berserkers in general.
I like the immense growing of Rukhtoru's and Romana's relationship. The way Rukh like instantly recognised Burzash as the leader, that's soo sweet.
YEs, almost forgot. Kalus. Poor boy. The entire scene where he tries to scare away Sunni, is hands down brilliant. And I always have to laugh when Burzash comes to Kalus after the fight.
For some reason I often imagine your Uruks not quite as they look like in the movie, but somehow different. Like for some reason it is hard for me to picture Kalus as a PJ style Uruk, IDK why though... Anyways it is just a sidenote.
As Rukh does, I keep wondering what will happen to your Uruks when and if they regained their strength. Even though you kinda told me about it (and I dont want any spoilers to appear here) I still long to read this story til the end, and I absolutely know how it feels to loose focus on a story, no matter how much you like your characters, I still ask you to sometimes think about your sweet Uruks wanting to continue their journey. I'll sure be here to experience their adventures.
Love
Zia

omg, “Romana” means Roman (for female) in italian xD RomanO is for male. that is, of course, how we call people from Rome! it’s going to be real strange for me to read since the protagonist’s name is how we call people from our capital, it’s like calling someone “Washingtonian” , lol but i’ll endure it! love your writing x

torta in my language (italian) means cake !️

Love this story!

Even unfinished, this is still one of my favorites.

SIGH so I can only leave one review per chapter?

O.K. ...

I see why Burga wants Buzzrash (sic bit of dyslexia...) Shes a kinky chix! *Approving Leer!*

so here's the 'final' review that I tried to leave on chap 44...

O.K., once again you've created awesome character with consistency of behaviors.

Mostly believable reactions of the human characters. I'd think there'd be much more hostility from the lesser/red shirt types especially the guards.

I can accept the behavior of the women cause they are the shield maidens.

Not sure how chicks really think (The bane of all us guys!) but I'm not sure there'd be as much sympathy for the uruks. I've been stuck in hospitals too much and a full third of the nurses were heartless bitches. Not sure if it was 'cause what they were or just having to grow thick skins...*Shrug*

I love your stuff. keep going PLEASE!

AAAAHHH!

MUST!

HAVE!

MORE!

whilst perusing fer some music for reading I rediscovered: watch?v9O-ra3RZeHk&listRDUQYjZc7gKXc&index19

has a certain orcy flavour to it...

I'll give a review at the end...

You already have my kudos...

Haha I would slip the Ring on Sauron’s finger! *Drools*

I totally would though!

Contestant No.2 Yeah... we still havent found your mate yet, he is still tending to the others, we will revisit you soon... yeah i know its been 4 years since you last saw him but im sure it wont be long, yes we will get back to you as soon as we can. We will intimate you as soon as we hear something. Thank you. keeps the phone down

Waaaaaauuuuugh Zoop I knew you hadn’t updated in years but I still read to the end and I NEED MORE

This is amazing in every way - I hope it gets finished. I feel very invested in everyone getting hooked up and happy, even Maukum weirdly.

I think I spent most of my summer reading your stories and I can easily say I have no regrets. Although I was a casual Tolkien fan, I am now fully engrossed in lore concerning the so-called 'villains' of middle-earth. Plus, I am a sucker for romance and you have so many that are well-written and engaging. However, I will say that my favorite is this one. I have a background in nursing so the healing (emotional and physical) aspect of this story appeals to me. Your characters are also very endearing, particularly Mog. I hope all goes well and he gets the girl!

I look forward to seeing an update from you in the near future.

God bless!

I love this story I hope you continue to update it
