The books just get better the more I read them. I was nervous to read this one because of Shelob and I’m an arachnophobe, but it was much better than aragog in Harry Potter. However, I don’t think her scene was really important beyond including peril. 

I love Sam and Frodo and how their relationship continues to develop as well as Legolas and Gimli. Mary and Pippin have a bigger role in this book and they do a fabulous job.

So I finished it yay! I love the world I really do, the characters are great. The way the story is constructed not my favourite in how we followed the fellowship and then never Frodo until the very end, but I enjoyed it. It took a while to get me into it but I do really enjoy the journey.  So I will be finishing the series whether that be sooner or later
