I would be lying if I said that reading this book was easy; I called upon the mercy of the audiobook on spotify (a great audiobook with multi-cast and very atmospheric). Otherwise, I wouldn't have to ended it on time and just slacked off.
Despite everything, I am so happy to have finished the series. This was a huge milestone I set for myself years ago when I received the bookset as a gift.
This was a journey, a great journey, as perilous as Frodo and Sam's through Mordor; my burden was the distraction of other books coming in my way when I am trying to read and the narration style of Tolkein. I can do with the extensive description of battles, but getting lost in how ruinous and old Minas Tirith looked? Not good for my ADHD brain.
I still need to know what happened to the Frodo at the end; what happened west, why didn't he stay.. I need to know what happened
