Safe to say that I’ve been missing this for a while, and I couldn’t be happier at starting my hobbit journey! This is one of the most wholesome reads I’ve had in a while and Tolkien possesses an unmatched ability to manipulate and create the most picturesque environments through description I felt very immersed into the surroundings. I’m usually not a fan of 3rd person perspectives for fantasy and while this did remain engaging I definitely felt there was a certain distance from the characters because of the chosen pov, also im not entirely sure how this book becomes three films?! That said I thoroughly enjoyed this and Im excited to read more from this universe :)
