i just re-read this and picked up on a lot of things i missed and/or forgot. this book is a masterpiece. the world-building is incomparable, the characters are so lovable and the plot is amazing and well thought out. the entire book series is about having hope, despite things seeming doomed. it‘s about strength and shows that it isn’t solely physical. the writing in itself is really descriptive and beautifully written. tolkien wrote his characters in such a complex, compelling and realistic way. truly a once in a lifetime universe
