The Sid

Pretty good

This is my most re-read book of all time, probably. I was worried I wouldn't like this on another re-read. Thankfully, it's still a good book, even if I don't love it NEARLY as much as I used to (I knew that wouldn't happen anyway) and it's just the last few that have been horrible.

I've been reading of these characters for 7 (...?) years or so at this point, so there is definitely an attachment, and going back to them at the beginning is fun to see. At the beginning, I was worried because there were some writing style complaints and concerning moments, but as it went on I liked it more, and I am very thankful for that. I don't know what I'd say if I hated this book

There are books I have rated lower than this that are probably better, but I don't really care, the combination of nostalgia, time spent with the characters, knowledge of the rest of the series and pure enjoyment get me to give it this.

An exact 8/10

4/5 Stars, I really liked it- and my enjoyment grew as it went on. There was a section near the end that almost made me drop it to 3 stars (it was giving me EoTW flashbacks) but the rest of the ending section was good enough that it remained 4 Stars.

Incredible

If I considered The Lord of the Rings three distinct books, this would be my favourite Tolkien work.

Unfortunately for it, I consider LotR one behemoth, but The Silmarillion is still amazing
