“Victory after all, I suppose! Well, it seems a very gloomy business.” The Hobbit chapter 18: The Return Journey.<\/p>\n

This weekend, TORn’s Hall of Fire returns<\/a> from the Christmas\/New Year break with the penultimate chapter of our Hobbit read-through.<\/p>\n

The Battle of the Five Armies is over. All that remains to be tallied is the cost. We’ll explore the fate of the company: do each get what they deserve? Does Thorin truly repent his harsh words at Erebor’s gates? And is Bilbo truly changed by his deeds and adventures? Is he a hero? A survivor? Or something else?<\/p>\n

Join us tomorrow<\/a>, Saturday January 7 at 5pm EST (New York time) when we’ll examine all these questions and more as we discuss The Hobbit chapter 18: The Return Journey!<\/p>\n
