My favorite part:
As the years went by, voices resounded through the hallway with quick footfalls, urgency betraying their mischief. Their voices upon being caught, a father’s voice booming, trailing behind them with that surety of thunder following the lightning... All of them were born to lead this rebellion.

It was their choice, not mine, she suddenly realised. I might have reared them with all I could give and with the knowledge I possessed, but the past will only bring me false hope. My answer and end to my pain lies in the future. I am the master of my fate, for too long have I let others determine it.
These are my favorite lines, for she had to make a choice to move on and to start anew, like all of us do.
Wonderful!

I loved the strength and dignity you gave her here, perfectly fitting for the wife of Feanor, and it was good to see her finally taking some control of her life again.

I am so happy that the strength and dignity came through, this coming from the mistress of stunning narrative... it feels like a huge compliment!
