The cover of The Return of the King caught my eye first. Interested to hear whether the story matches the mood.

Conor, agreed on keeping the pitch short. I want a reason to try it without knowing every turn.

The Return of the King is one I am weighing up. The description has me curious. I would rather know the mood than the whole plot.

Caoimhe, would be nice to come back to this thread once a few more people have given it a go.

For anyone considering The Return of the King: I would like to see this in the six with a few very different choices around it.
