tyranist's Review
This has always been the problematic book of the series for me. By problematic, I mean I have the hardest time sticking with
it. The book is very clearly divided in half and follows the two halves of the remaining company in completely different paths.
Not so bad, but when it comes to Frodo's path, I have problems. It just isn't that interesting to me. Still, the book does have
all of magic that the series carries. You have to love the characters and the lands, and just think, there is one more to go.
