The Hall of Fire

Ack I know this.. Help unlooked for...

Is that Aragorn when the Dúnedain arrive?

Thats hardly the point though. He was in the army. It was his job to kill the enemy. Just as US, UK and other Allies killed Japanese and Germans. Those aren't necessarily War Crimes. I note nobody talks about Hiroshima and Nagasaki as War Crimes.

I love seeing the response of first time readers.

But if there’s a cliffhanger at the end of the first book, then that is not a complete book. (Sulk) Yeah, that Tolkien guy has a lot to answer for... To be fair, Tolkien never wanted to publish The Lord of the Rings in three parts. That was a decision forced on him by the publisher. We know that, b...

It feels like the Beorn chapter to me
