My least favorite of the three parts. The main story ends less than halfway through, and what should be an epilogue takes up the rest. I didn't find anything they did particularly interesting compared to the movie version.

Tolkien's writing continues to provide very little emotion or depth, so Andy Serkis as the narrator does a lot of heavy lifting with his voice acting. But it was not enough to make this book enjoyable.

This is probably the best book from the trilogly (yes I know it's technically one book, please don't come for me Tolkein stans). 

Might bump this up to 4.5 stars later, I still can't make up my mind 😅
