Ooh! Well, of course their comfy idyllic life couldn't continue, and the truth would Iinevitably out at some point, but ooof! Ossë, the mischievous so and so! "This should be interesting" says he. He reminds me of a small boy poking insects with a sharp stick just to see what happens, without any emphathy for how they might experience it. 

Oooh, so many repercussions... how will Celegorm deal, with the guilt and shame of his memories, as well as his perception that Daeron betrayed him. And the twins! How do they feel with this knowledge? And how will they react? So happy their story continues! 

I can't bear it! Poor Lossë, and poor Daeron and the twins as well. What on earth was Ossë thinking?? I know Celegorm had to come back to himself at some point, but this is so, so hard - not least because he's just in time for terrible things to happen to Celebrimbor... :(

(And oh no, he must have remembered Huan, on top of everything else! Maybe he needs to be adopted by a dog.)

I really am glad there's a sequel to the wonderful ATWTB, honestly! This is such a powerful, painful opening, though - I've been thinking about it non-stop since I first read it on Saturday. At least the title is hopeful!

Poor Celebrimbor :,,( 

His death is one of the saddest, but surviving this will be so devastating in a whole new way. He's been betrayed by someone he called a friend, and will have to heal from all these terrible injuries on top of that. Celebrimbor being alive, along with his uncles, is going to add such interesting and complicated dimensions to this story. Can't wait to see what happens!
