ITF Read: The Return of the King (1955 novel) part three

A return to the Shire. The final chapter. The end of all things
“Lord of the Rings” …well, except for the film, which they are
covering next week! Join Luke & James in episode 131 as they
say goodbye to one of the most beloved fantasy series of all
time, yet debate whether it truly deserves the high praise it
often receives.

Also discussed: Michael Moorcock’s "Epic Pooh", the value of the
appendices, what Tolkien’s legacy is with regards to modern
fantasy, more great quotes, the philosophy of the LOTR, the value
of mercy, the Eagles plot hole, the nature of return to status
quo endings, and whether or not Arwen and Aragorn’s relationship
could’ve been a little more integrated in the story.
