It's been one of the five-star books of my life. How strange it feels to give this book only four stars, and feeling generous in doing so. This was still quite an enjoyable read and a great way to wrap up an epic story. It might be easier to follow the battles when reading rather than listening. The book includes more details regarding the Hobbits after their return to the Shire although, I might suggest readers bookmark a map of Middle Earth to reference when listening to minimize confusion. Story-wise, I was familiar from seeing the movies. His voice is very charming, and I love that he sings all of the songs and performs voices of each of the characters. I signed up especially for Audible to finish the auiodbooks as read by Inglis. I especially appreciated these after I finished the saga for the very first time. Without this content, these books are much shorter than the previous ones in the series.
The chapters of the two books are in the right order, followed by Tolkien's appendices that include extra info. The reviews from last year that indicate this book is out of order no longer apply.
