This feels like home. The world building throughout this book is beautiful and it's easy to feel like you're there walking with the group - I wish I was!

The friendship between the fellowship is so heartwarming, especially Sam. Honestly Frodo doesn't deserve Sam as a friend, I'm really not a fan of Frodo as a character. I was waiting the whole first part for the introduction of Strider...was not disappointed. Definitely my favourite character by far - not just because he's fuckable ok, promise. There were so many parts of this book that just made me so happy.

This is a long story and very lengthy book for sure and not sure how I felt about there being no clear ending as the trilogy follows on through each book. 

This is a real story. This is what all good stories and books now were shaped by.
