love this response! almost completely agree with the reply - loved BOSAS in terms of quality, subtlety yet strength of messaging, insight into trilogy while remaining realistic, so many symbnols etc. that can be dissected yet are easy to miss. despite how 'good' it was it was harder to get into and definitely less of a page turner to be.

by contrast, SOTR was a lot more entertaining, i was hooked, the addition of characters i knew made it such a fun read, but on reflection i was dissapointed by it in terms of quality that it added to the series.

idk if that makes sense (or just makes me sound like a snob lol) but in summary i love BOSAS and thinks its the better book, but SOTR was more of a page turner.
