Review
Note from 8/27/26— I’m adding this review here, but it is from 2023 and predates my review style now. Posting it here to establish the ripreads tag.
This review is reposted from elsewhere and primarily about ROTK:
I deeply enjoyed reading the first two LOTR books, after an encounter in my youth that put me off of them. Yet, for whatever reason, ROTK stands alone. I inhaled this book. I basically didn’t put it down once I’d picked it up. Did I spend my holiday Monday off of work, drinking wine, following my cat around my apartment, reading it to her out loud, and in character? None will ever know for sure.
A lot of folks apparently didn’t like The Rings of Power show. I really enjoyed it, and I’m grateful to it and to the House of R podcast for getting me to try reading these books again. What a delight!
