The Return of the King by J.R.R. Tolkien

3.0

---

Its finally over, I thought that I’m not gonna make it till the end. This book was not the worst of the series. There wasn’t much of Gandalf in it, which is an improvement. But to be honest there wasn’t much of anyone from the leads a part from Merry and Pippin, which are officially my faves. What really surprised me was the fact that the part with Frodo, Sam and the ring was very short and we had like five chapters of them going home and slowly telling goodbye to each other, and then there was this whole thing with in Shire. I skimmed through the appendixes as I’m not interested in learning the languages and in the history lessons beyond the ones Gandalf produces every time he opens the mouth. I kinda liked one moment when Aragorn was salty as hell fighting patriarchy but the rest story that involved him focused on how he is awesome and all that. Legolas and Gimli were almost non existent in this book which is a shame.
I didn’t really enjoyed this book, I just wanted it to be over, but I did get emotional in the last chapter so I guess not all was bad and I did got attached to some of the characters.
By the way is there a ship name for Sam and Frodo, cos damn.
