The Fellowship of the Ring by J.R.R. Tolkien

 



Goodreads synopsis: THE GREATEST FANTASY EPIC OF OUR TIME

The dark, fearsome Ringwraiths were searching for a hobbit. Frodo Baggins knew they were seeking him and the Ring he bore - the Ring of Power that would enable evil Sauron to destroy all that was good in Middle-earth. Now it is up to Frodo and his faithful servant, Sam, with a small band of companions, to carry the Ring to the one place it could be destroyed - Mount Doom, in the very center of Sauron's dark kingdom.

My rating: 4 stars.

Content warnings: PG. Some fantasy violence.

Thoughts: There's a reason these books are such a classic. The worldbuilding is impeccable, the characters are fantastic, and the action is incredible. When it finally starts. But even just the world of the hobbits and the elves is fun to crawl inside of and live around in for a while. The first one is a slow book, but it's soft and cozy and definitely enjoyable to read.
