Such a great end to a fantastic trilogy. Lotr has been so daunting to read, but after doing it I donât know what I was scared of. (Yes I do, the size). I listened on audiobook the Robert Ingles version and thoroughly enjoyed myself.Â
Frodo and Samâs endings make perfect sense for their characters and how they developed along the way. I could honestly say that about every single character. I will always love Merry and Pippin and SURPRISE they arenât twins but they are cousins.Â
The writing of Gandalf as a mentor is so good I understand now why people love him so much. It is annoying at time when he leaves because as the reader you are like âbro! You are leaving at the most random times!â However, it is all in pursuit of the other characters growing and learning.Â
Favorite Quotes:Â
âDead men are not friends to living men and give them no giftsÂ
Wild men are wild, free but not children
And she spoke as one who did not like what was said
The houses of the dead are no place for the livingÂ
I will not say, do not weep, for not all tears are an evil.â

Definitely made me cry at the end with  the parting of the hobbits. It was inspiring and worth the long journey. This last book was faster paced than the others, but still slow. Loved the characters and it felt like you knew them as a family by the time you were done.
