I must say I really loved the narrative of the chapter. The story is glossed over briefly in LOTR, and I was so happy to uncover a separate mini-tragedy in it as well. When I was reading it I had oh so many points to make, but now I can barely remember them.

I wasn't really thinking about the technical details and explanations for things such as the Elindimir. However, I quite enjoyed the dimension it added to the story (the bitterness of Saruman's treachery, for example).

When before UT this was a few odd facts put together, after this chapter it became a story.
