An Unexpected Adventure  by KathyG 1 Review(s)
LindeleaReviewed Chapter: 29 on 9/9/2025
Oh! I had forgotten that Boromir survived the Orc attack! (It has been so long since I last read this story, I should have read the previous chapter to get my bearings again.)

Aragorn kicking the helmet and screaming reminds me of the movie trivia that Viggo broke (his toe?) while filming that scene. Here's hoping Aragorn didn't break any bones!

I can't think of anyone I'd trust more than Glorfindel and a body of warriors hand-picked by Elrond, even travelling at such a dangerous time. I love Bilbo's solution to the map problem!

(Thinking about LOTR movies being real in this story... So do the characters' appearance and voices somehow [magically, perhaps] match those of the actors?)

I've always wanted to visit Fangorn Forest. It was fun to see it through Joey and Jennifer's eyes. And it seems perfectly natural that Merry feels more at home in the forest than on the open plain. I smiled when he said, "Just trust us." And when Pippin made sure the tree by the stream was not a willow tree, I nodded agreement. His caution is understandable, considering his memories of the Old Forest.

(So will Treebeard say anything about entering Hobbits in the List? I wonder.)

I'm looking forward to reading on.
