To Wrap An Elven Princeling

Of the many wonderful features of this work, the thing I like best is that it tells a story. The author has given herself enough room and words to develop characters, make them face hard challenges with unforeseen consequences, and come to resolution; in this case, very satisfyingly. Each word counts. I have read the story a couple of times now and am retuning to leave comments on each chapter.
In Prologue, I liked the quick establishment of the scene and the key players. Right away we get a sense of Thranduil's layered character, which will be a theme throughout the story, as more is revealed. I loved the names selected for the original characters. Seregon and Saerlin were lovely examples of Elvish names that don't follow the A-E-I-O-U-iel pattern. The conclusion of Prologue was a skillful grabber of the reader's attention. I was hooked.
