Glad to see you've found a new writing project after finishing the last one.

I read all of it and it's really good! The plot is gripping and there are many wonderful touches. I enjoyed the changes in perspectives, chapter 3 in particular, and the running gag with Derendil only speaking elvish made me laugh every time. There's also something to be said for rolling dice for the combat sequences, because that shows the reader that no character has plot armor.
Can't wait for part 2!
