I lost interest in the appendices honestly, but otherwise this book was pretty engaging. Good enough to not want to put down but also not good enough to completely derail my life until I finished.

I love everything about the fellowship. If you’re not crying buckets of tears at the end of this book, you must be a very different sort of person to me. God… and such a beautiful, hopeful ending it is as well!

This is probably the best book from the trilogly (yes I know it's technically one book, please don't come for me Tolkein stans). 

Might bump this up to 4.5 stars later, I still can't make up my mind 😅

So, I switched over to an audiobook version when I got about 100 or so pages into the irl book version and just couldn’t get through it. 

Moving through the audio version, I still felt like it was quite a slog, especially the ending, which just… Kept… Going… 

I honestly felt sort of disappointed by this book, especially because I am quite fond of the rest of the series and enjoyed reading them quite a lot. I just found this one to be way too dense for my own taste. Maybe it’s because I ended up listening to the unabridged version, because it was the only one available at my online library app 🤷🏼 

In any case, not my favourite book in the series, and a bit of a let down.
