between_time_and_42Okay, I'm going to make another Two Towers roundup live-blogging post, but I just have to get this one thing off my chest first:
I can't believe that I spent pretty much the entirety of this book mourning and feeling bad for Boromir, and then Faramir shows up and immediately proves himself to be the superior brother?? Like. He should have just gone to Rivendell instead of Boromir. God damn, I almost feel like the Fellowship wasted their time with Boromir.
(...but I'm exaggerating a little bit. I love Faramir already, but even he said what I've been saying about Boromir: "Alas for Boromir! It was too sore a trial!" I still wholeheartedly believe that Boromir was a good man and what happened between him and Frodo should not be held against him. But I don't want to go into another "BOROMIR DID NOTHING WROOOOONG" spiral, so I'm going to cope by loving on Faramir and wishing that he had joined the Fellowship instead so that Boromir would not have met his end in the way that he did.)
(...Also I feel like I've now written about these characters a surprising amount considering that neither of them are my favorite characters lol. Though Faramir might end up being my favorite side character from this book.)
