I can't say I'm enjoying this anymore...

I really hope that this story doesn't turn into a clichè. I've already predicted the main character's "secret", and hope I'm wrong.

You shall not pass!!!

This seems like a nice and heart-warming story so far :)

Very charming :)
I love that each chapter so far ends with them going to bed, just like myself.

It's so interesting that Tolkien has brought in some elements of Naturalism as well.

"It is not despair, for despair is only for those who see the end beyond all doubts. We do not. It is wisdom to recognize necessity, when all other courses have been weighed, though as folly it may appear to those who cling to false hope. Well, let folly be our cloak, a veil before the eyes of the Enemy! For he is very wise, and weighs all things to a nicety in the scale of his malice..." -Gandalf-

"اگر از ذائقه هایمان به اندازه کافی فاصله نگیریم، نمی‌توانیم چیزها را همانگونه که هستند ببینیم؛ و اگر به ذائقه ها وابسته عاطفی نداشته باشیم، چیزها را فقط همانگونه که هستند می‌بینیم."
"ذائقه پایدارتر از مد روز و بی ثبات تر از ارزش‌هاست."
"در زندگی بده‌بستانی همیشگی میان مد و ارزش، میان پوسته و محتوا جریان دارد. و چیزی که این جریان را هدایت می‌کند، ذائقه است. برای همین است که ذائقه هیچوقت آرام و قرار ندارد."

"Snow and Rose didn't know they were living in a fairy tale – people never do."
Gorgeous writing and art style :)

Awww, this is so precious :')

So far, so cute!

I'm at the council of Elrond, ready to hear everyone's story.

By the way, if anyone ever puts pressure on me to think faster, this will be my answer:
"The time of my thought is my own to spend."
Very wise of you, Dáin :)

"A hunted man sometimes wearies of distrust and longs for friendship. But there, I believe my looks are against me."

"Ho! Tom Bombadil, Tom Bombadillo!
By water, wood and hill, by reed and willow,
By fire, sun and moon, harken now and hear us!
Come, Tom Bombadil, for our need is near us!"

I'll follow the rest of the journey tomorrow. For it is time for Pippin, Sam, Frodo and I to sleep peacefully, leaving behind all our troubles and worries.

Gandolf: "...Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement. For even the very wise cannot see all ends."

I can't put this down. It's so captivating, thrilling and fun to read. ❤

I can feel the slap of cold winter winds on my face through these pages. I'm riding an exhausted horse in the middle of nowhere. Top notch descriptions!

Tolstoy's witty naration is always enjoyable :)

I just read the first chapter and I'm so intrigued.
The diction is gorgeous even though it's a translation.
I can safely assume that this is not an ordinary novel :)

"This makes you think that what made television so evil back when it was evil was not its essence but its omnipresence. Once it is not everything, it can be merely something. The real demon in the machine is the tirelessness of the user."
