Every time I read or watch Return of the King I keep thinking, 'there's just no way they're going to get the ring to Mount Doom,' and each time they do I am quite literally overjoyed. Masterful story telling. Also this was my first time reading the trilogy after reading the Silmarillion, which was very helpful - so much lore.

The good: world building, prose, ending
The bad: lack of dialogue, lack of character depth, flies through major events with minimal description, too much singing

I just couldn’t get through this book. The first two were already a drag but this one, i don’t understand any of the words they are using and don’t know where the story is going. It’s just too much.
