Enjoying the introduction to Denethor and Minas Tirith in Gondor. Peregrin getting to be in the service of Gondor is interesting as well.

The battle of pellenor fields was incredible. Truly one of the peaks of the story.

Yeah, Denethor is the worst. Can’t help but feel bad for him a little? Maybe? Pippin is great. Gandalf is great. Gondor is falling, though. Dark times.

Incredible tension when Aragorn is summoning the Oathbreakers, as well as everyone preparing to essentially fight to the death against Sauron’s forces.

Shelob’s Lair and The Choices of Samwise were such good chapters to close TTT.

Book Faramir is such an incredible character. Honestly the first one I’ve met where I’m like “the movies missed the mark on this guy”.

Honestly, the first part of TT was a bit of a slog. The second part of it, book four, has been much better going for me. I think it’s just taken me a while to get used to the detail-rich way in which Tolkien wrote. You just have to accept it and embrace it and the story becomes much more enjoyable. Loving the higher stakes with Gollum being re-introduced.
