Always good to hear from her.
I think there will be a huge pay-off for the splitting of the company... It already worked for DoS - but I agree that it adds a lot of weight to the story having some of the dwarves there.
Especially those who have not been there or born yet to witness the massacre at Erebor but who will be filled with terror, shock and mercy (towards the Lake-towners) because of the terror in Esgaroth.
The old rights and ancient feuds of Thorin and those around him against the immediate feelings of a younger generation, caught between loyalty to Thorin and the recognition of the injustice and evil that happened to the Men of the Lake.
And you also have Kili who was not only left behind for the sake of the quest but who has also experienced how wonderful and benefiting it can be to collaborate with another race - building something new instead of letting history dictate your behaviour and future.
This also adds to the drama of the last act when Fili and Kili will eventually remain loyal to their uncle in battle and die for it.
This struggle of quest/history/destiny vs. new ways/collaboration/insight will help massively to bring the story of the company to an emotional fulfilling climax, add to the dwarves' characters and make for very good storytelling.
“All good stories deserve embellishment."
Praise is subjective. And so is criticism.
"I am afraid it is only too likely to be true what you say about the critics and the public. I am dreading the publication for it will be impossible not to mind what is said. I have exposed my heart to be shot at."
