I have finally caught up on reading and don't you dare say that it's not nice! It may not be all flowery and pretty, but it's real and it's the first story I have read that takes this perspective, looking at the terrible events in retrospective, through the eyes of one who is slowly beginning to understand. I wanted to cry when Feanaro calls himself evil, saying that historians (and Nolofinwe's historians)are right to record his deeds as most evil and despise-worthy. You know, as the story progresses and Feanaro comes to understand more and more things, he keeps being very similar to the Feanaro in my head. So, while you think that others find him and the whole story odd, it all makes perfect sense to me.
This chapter is filled with graphic and sometimes most disturbing images, but you have done an excellent job describing the definitely not easy fight and smooth sailing that the Noldor have gone through, to reach Middle Earth. My heart ached while reading about Tyelkormo cutting someone open from behind and then discovering that he'd killed a maiden.
I'm especially curious where this story is going to take Feanaro and I look forward to the next chapters very much.
