I really enjoyed this story of Eowyn on the cusp of old age. The
author does a good job of capturing the physical details of Eowyn's
popping joints and aches and pains, but also captures the more
emotional aspects of her character, like her pride and her frustration
at being patronized. All in all, a really nice exploration of her
character in relatively few words.

[Warning - Plot Spoilers!]
Lovingly and lushly written account of the lives of Aragorn, Arwen and
Legolas in Gondor, from the new king's marriage to the birth of Eldarion.
Interesting sub-plot concerning Gandalf; and good usage of Gimli and
the dwarves.

Very enjoyable! I can certainly see both Faramir and Aragorn prizing
the contents of Elrond's library above fripperies like clothes - but I
think I particularly liked the picture of the futile courtiers moping
and squabbling their way through a rainy day in Ithilien. How Faramir
and Aragorn - and Arwen - must have hated being constantly the focus
of so many sycophants!

An elf - well, a three-quarters elf - and a Ranger. How they must have
hated Gondor's stuffy propriety! I'm not surprised they rebelled - and
Aragorn was very sensible to speak to Galadriel on the subject. The
sky and the stars - and the night-blooming flowers and a fresh breeze
... much more them.
It'll take time for them to break through Gondor's stuffiness. But
they will. And they had their moment of union - as they wanted it to be.

A well-earned present - but perhaps one that might be a trifle
disconcerting! He'll take it in the spirit it's meant, though.
