Like reading an encyclopedia. Was quite a rough read.
World’s fanciest, most fantastical infodump. 5 new characters, 4 new places, and 3 new events every page, as well as further development of many other characters, places and events from earlier pages, with new references and connections and associations for you to keep track of. Fun.
I HIGHLY recommend the audiobook by Andy Serkis. It’s free if you have Spotify Premium or a subscription to a VPN!

I don’t think “free” means what you think it means
What can I say, Bilbo Baggins is an inspiration to us all
Sneaksy little thief!
Even in the movies it was pretty clear that elves are racist as fuck. If they ran middle Earth they’d genocide the dwarves and enslave the men.
No. Not even close.
Why do you think the friendship between Legolas and Gimli was so notable? Cause dwarves and elves get along? No, cause they historically despise each other, talk down about each other, and distrust each other. Elrond, as well as all the elves of Lorien are openly hostile and intolerant towards Gimli and the dwarves and talk about them like they’re animals. I dunno what you call that but racism
I’ve already commented on another post with the why and how the dwarves and elves might dislike one another. But to say the Elves would “genocide dwarves and enslave men” if they ruled Middle Earth (spoiler they did rule Middle Earth for a time and none of that occured) is blatantly wrong and antithetical to Tolkien’s work.
Well, the Elves did hunt the Dwarves before they realised they too were Children of Iluvatar.
