I would have thought that such a dedicated and public scholar of Tolkien could have presented a more powerful defense against the charge of wordiness, excessive description, dependence upon landscape. Bringing in Hemingway rather defeats his earlier claim about presenting a mythological style. However, one can still have high hopes for the entry on heroic speeches.

What I am curious to know is whether CoH will have the style of The Silm, of LotR, or of its own unique style.

Also, I am not satisfied with the pitifully small number of avatars. I would hope that more will become available, especially of Nienor.
