Legolas has just left Hobbiton.
I think I've said elsewhere long ago, but I'm not that fond of Book 4, the Frodo/Sam half of The Two Towers. It moves a little slow at times and just generally isn't as interesting to me as the rest of the book. I'm not sure how he could've written in differently though. Might even be more mental than anything, how I feel about it when I'm not actually reading it.

Well, we never got an answer from Glorthelion, but perhaps he and others might have felt a later, grander death of Boromir would have served as greater redemption. I find his immediate sacrifice very heroic though, despite ultimately failing to prevent Merry and Pippin's capture.
