The trilogy ends with a seriously good note thanks to a story packed with tense events and deep dives into the way of thinking and future of beloved characters.
Tolkien shows in this book all his talent in terms of lore and character building, in a stronger way thank in the 2 other books of the trilogy.
Still, I had a hard time concentrating on the book and finishing it, which is why this isn't a 5-star.
