FINALLY finished. It took me so long because whenever I reached a racist or sexist point, I'd stop. I know that Tolkien is a product of his time etc. etc. but that doesn't mean I have to enjoy reading sexist or racist things. But, you know, he's the father of modern fantasy and everything. So I felt I really needed to read Lord of the Rings in order to have a true understanding of the genre. And it was fun! Just a little *ahem* sexist and racist.

by far the best book out of the trilogy! (the hobbit is my fave tho)

the ending was bittersweet (i’ve forgotten about the movie ending at that point) but i kinda get it… nevertheless loved loved loved the character arc of the four hobbits 🫶🏻🫶🏻 they’re going to be deeply missed
