N6: Every Good and Perfect Gift by Nessime
A very well researched story. I even have somewhat the feeling of an
encounter with Numenoreans though Tar-Elendil, Irimon and Silmarien seem
rather subdued people or should I write refined ? Well written with many
delightful details concentrating on the forging of the bond between the line
of Elros and the house of Andunie through Silmarien. Very well written. In
my mind there is not enough vigour. If one reads the story of Erendis in UT
one has the feeling of real and strong persons rubbing themselves raw with
the demands of real life. Here the protagonists seem to float in a private
world of their own apart from reality. Thus this was a predominantly nice
story as maybe behoves a wedding story (though not in my dark mind).
N4: Renuvammet by Zimraphel
Nice story. Elendil is very believable described. Elrond seems very aloof,
but this feeling I had also in LotR.
N5: The Eleventh Hour by Zimraphel
Machinations of Sauron as an explanation why Tar-Miriel did not leave with
Elendil. I could follow you. But for me this queen felt very human, there
was for me no feeling of Numenorean ancestry.
AUTHORS (remember to comment on the writer as regards to the category, not
the story, here):
NA2: Nessime
Every Good and Perfect Gift
A good and very dedicated writer. Her words were very well chosen. The
spoken language was written believable. I personally would like to feel a
bit less of well-intended detachedness from the real world and a bit more of
real person ambivalences. Nevertheless I get a feeling of Numenoreans in
this story.
NA4: Zimraphel
Aglarrama, Renuvammet, The Eleventh Hour
Interesting stories just about such pivotal points in Numenorean history
also I would like to know more about.
