Yes, there's something about The Lord of the Rings that fits into a depression like a key into a lock. Walk in where you didn't dare go, even though it was a place that ruled your mind ... then walk out again. It's one of the things this book does well.

And, Bramblerose, NyteSky, Araen, others: you know you'd rather be one of those people who break their hearts over old friends instead of trading up. You know you'd rather chase the things you love than please the professional brats. You're coming up in the world in a far more important way. Welcome!
