I actually thought "Tom Bombadil" too but I was sure if I said that a tolkien fan would be like "you idiot, obviously that can't be tom bombadil, don't you know that [10 pages of text]?"

the lotr fandom wiki entry on sauron makes me like 99% sure it's sauron. Seems pretty clear they're going to follow the lore closely as they've introduced all the right characters to do so. Only thing not accounted for are the hobbits and the sword plot

been reading the cartographers but im not sure i can finish it, even tho its an interesting premise

the characters are tremendously annoying and ive been 2-3 steps ahead of them the whole time. also the will they wont they love stuff is clumsy and the reason for the characters' original fallout doesnt make sense

and the writer uses "he/she cried/crowed/retorted" instead of just "said" or nothing waaaay too much
