It feels so strange to say goodbye to the series that was home for months! The final chapter had me crying, what a way to finish the trilogy.
Good pace although the ending felt a little rushed. Great plot and characters. Characters were well thought out although there are so many with similar names it's tricky to keep on track of who's who! Aragorn obviously was an angel the whole time and gave the whole series an edge.
The comedy always surprises me - Sam, Merry and Pippin are pure comedy gold and really lift the suspenseful or heavy moments!
Frodo doesn't deserve Sam. Sam deserves everything.
