I really love this series. It took me seven years to pick it up again and I honestly regret waiting that long.

This was an excellent end to the series and every character had a fitting, well built up to ending. There’s just something about these books that feels very comforting to me. Honestly even if older/longer books aren’t your style I do genuinely recommend people give the audiobooks narrated by Andy Serkis a shot. The only reason I finally finished this books is because of his narration.
