      I HIGHLY recommend the audiobook by Andy Serkis. It’s free if you have Spotify Premium or a subscription to a VPN!

      This is something I noticed people have been saying, but I never had such problem. I think it might be because Ive had read a Czech translation, so it might have been more palatable than the original Tolkiens English, which can get rather verbose.

      Then again, I like reading wiki articles about my favorite games’ lore, so it might be just me being massive nerd.

      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.

      the only way i finally got sort of a handle on that one was by actually making an outline on several pages of legal pad… and now that i think about it, it was absolutely worth it…
