At the beginign of this book I was in a massive reading slump. This is the longest its ever taken me to read a book (well over a month). I am glad I did not dnf this book. I pushed through. It was a very enjoyable book and im excited to see where the lord of the rings goes. I love gandalf and bilbo so much. I think the ending was very cute. (also i have an obsession with the riddle game
