Chapters from Finduilas’s POV
Ch. 60 – Time
Time – Finduilas POV – 1 of 1
In which we learn it is not time, but is both too soon and too late.
*****
Also, it is too dry.
When I looked at the various timelines and genealogical chronologies, I realized that Thengel dies in the same year as the attack on Umbar, and I decided to put his death first, leading off the year. As you will see in the next chapter, it has caused things to happen out of order. This mistake will lead to others.
Ch. 57 – Confessions
Confessions – Finduilas POV – 1 of 1
In which Finduilas confesses her deepest secret and extracts the same from those around her.

Here is the scene that you all have been waiting for, even if you didn’t know it.

In which the plague comes to Minas Tirith and Denethor gets another lesson on why only the truth will serve him well where Finduilas is concerned.

Finduilas completes her campaign to rule the City, though Denethor is not particularly pleased at how she does it. Mr. Snarly is always such a party-pooper.

Ch. 44 – Touched
Touched – Finduilas POV – 1 of 2
In which Finduilas experiences touch – healing touches and a touch of evil, being a bit touched in the head and having one’s heart touched by something unexpected.
(If you have taken a break between chapters, I recommend re-reading the last section of chapter 43, North, before diving into 44 as it will make much more sense of the opening paragraphs.)
*****
The Valar are such bastards. Finduilas does not name the mariner the gift-giver, an echo of Sauron’s title Annatar (lord of gifts), by mistake, even if it was an accident.
Ch. 41 – Interregnum
Interregnum – Finduilas POV – 2 of 2
In which rule is uncertain and the dark legacy of the Kin-strife wakes from its slumber.
*****
Finduilas continues to define who she is as Lady of the White Tower, and is confronted with trouble from people dear and despised. .
