The Fellowship of the Ring
4.0 / 5 (2 reviews)
Author: J.R.R. Tolkien
In ancient times the Rings of Power were crafted by the Elven-smiths, and Sauron, the Dark Lord, forged the One Ring, filling it with his own power so that he could rule all others. But the One Ring was taken from him, and though he sought it throughout Middle-earth, it remained lost to him. After many ages it fell into the hands of Bilbo Baggins, as told in The Hobbit. In a sleepy village in the Shire, young Frodo Baggins finds himself faced with an immense task, as his elderly cousin Bilbo entrusts the Ring to his care. Frodo must leave his home and make a perilous journey across Middle-earth to the Cracks of Doom, there to destroy the Ring and foil the Dark Lord in his evil purpose.

The Fellowship of the Ring by J.R.R. Tolkien is a great start to The Lord of the Rings series. The world-building is amazing, and the characters are really engaging. The journey feels epic, with lots of adventure and moments that make you care about the characters. That said, some parts can be a bit slow, especially with the world-building details. Overall, it’s a strong beginning to the series, though it might take a little patience to get through some of the slower parts. Still, it's worth the read for anyone who loves fantasy.
