2006 Author Reviews for
Nesta

Nesta is a fiercely book-canon Faramirist, and a multifaceted, extremely talented writer. Her main strengths are dialogue and the conveyence of emotion in a subtle but strong way that shows, rather than tells, and enraptures the reader instead of overpowering the reader.

Faramir fans, take notice--Nesta writes a wonderful Faramir, pensive, sharp, dedicated, haunted. Excellent characterizations all around, actually, and she can pack a lot into a short story. She also has an eye for unusual perspectives, and writes them beautifully, probing psychological weaknesses and strengths as she does so in a believable and creative manner. Her ability to give a voice to the inanimate is wonderful. Her pacing is also very good--nice timing all around, and her ability to manipulate the political aspect of her characters\' situation is intriguing. I will be looking forward to more stories from her.

Nesta has captured Faramir\'s many facets extremely well: he is not only the gentle one who wins over the [\"wild shieldmaiden of the North\"], but also an astute politician, sharp, keenly intelligent, dedicated to his land and his people.
