Ghettoelleth's story ably demonstrates her skill as a writer; her prose has
a distinctly lyrical quality without being forced or overly high-brow. She
can create both scenes and characters that are believable, and depicts
emotions so vividly that at times her prose is very difficult to read, in
the best possible way. Following her character's lives and loves is like
stepping into Middle-earth yourself. She also has an extraordinary ability
to maintain an intriguing and unexpected story, full of twists and
surprises. Reading her work, I have the feeling that every word is
significant of something and will all add up to a beautifully resolved story
in the end.

Rhapsody has such an insight into Tolkien's characters and world, especially
the characters of the Silmarillion, and she portrays them with such
consummate skill. It is so remarkable, reading her wonderfully crafted
prose, to think that English is not her first language. She is a master of
both description and characterisation and ably brings the lesser-known
figures of Middle-earth history to life.

Viv has such skill in evoking Tolkien's world. Her prose is immaculate, and
her attention to detail both in terms of language and canon makes her work
addictive. Whether it is humour, romance or utter despair, Viv can make it
real using only words.
