Its a short, but meaningful chapter... and its not turning into a mary sue! I know how painful writer's block is- its like there's a wall in your brain and it wieghs you down so that everything you try to write sounds stupid. I know it well because I have been suffering from it lately.

Author's Response: Thank you so much for reviewing and for saying that my character isn't a Mary sue. It concerns me that she might turn into one, but your incouraging words help me out a lot! I'm so glad that my writer's block is gone. Good luck with yours! Thanks again! ~God bless

I really like it so far, but I think Sonya may be a bit of a Mary-Sue, to be completely honest. Aragorn and Legolas both seemed to think she was important; I thought it was unrealistic that they reacted to her the way they did. They would have been far more suspicious. And she was wounded and hadn't shown a single sign of strength so far, so I don't think Legolas would be saying things like that so early on. Why would they be wanting her to fight? They don't know her, and they don't know what she's capable of yet.

I wasn't quite sure about her 'staring Aragorn down' either. I really think that under the circumstances, anyone would be intimidated, frightened and meek. She was far too cheeky with him, and confident in herself. And a teenage girl getting the better of Aragorn seems extremely unlikely.

Sorry for that sounding so critical! As I said, I really am enjoying this so far. The scenes with the orcs tormenting here were so realistic! Especially the first scene, when they captured her. You are pacing the story very well too. There are a couple of grammar errors herre and there, but mostly your writing style is really beautiful. I like the way you are revealing things about Sonya slowly, rather than blurting everything out in the first chapter. So overall, you're doing a fantastic job! Keep it up, and I'll come back and read the rest really soon!

Author's Response: Thank you for your review! Um...well, I've never really looked at her as a Mary sue. But I can see where you are coming from when you correct me on her being a little cheeky and confident, but I think the point I was trying to make there was that she was very bitter and she didn't really care what happened to herself. That was what I was trying to get across, at least. I can also see where it might have been unrealistic for Legolas and Aragorn to think that she was important. It is true that they would have been more suspicious. But at the time, I didn't think it sounded unrealistic at all. Do you have any ideas on how to keep her from really becoming a Mary sue? Thank you very much for your review, and I hope you enjoy the rest! ~God bless
