I’m finding myself quite sad to leave the behind the series.

It took me a lot longer to finish than I expected. Sometimes the reading could be slow for me but it felt like I went on the journey with them and I’m grateful to have done it.

This book from the outset was easily going to be my favorite. From the beginning everything had been building up to the final battles of Mordor and the rejoining of the 3 different groups and it didn’t disappoint.

The destruction of the King of the Nazgûl’s

was in particularly moving.

You could also feel the weight of every step as

Frodo and Sam made their way through Mordor and finally destroyed the Ring.

The most surprising part to me was how much I enjoyed everything after the Ring was destroyed. I saw there was still a good chunk of the book left and wasn’t quite sure how to feel about it but I think those sections worked wonders for me in terms of solidifying the characters when they could finally be at peace.

The last scene in particular was moving. 

Overall a really great series and glad to have finally made the jump in. Highly recommended to anyone to read it in addition to watching the films.
