5.0

There is nothing I can add to already-established discourse about this book, series, or author. Y'all know the drill. 5/5, forever.

Rob Inglis, the narrator, also gets 5/5.

Content Warnings

Moderate: War, Death, Injury/Injury detail, Addiction, Violence, and Grief

Minor: Racism, Alcohol, Death of parent, Gaslighting, Medical content, Animal cruelty, Confinement, Torture, Abandonment, Fire/Fire injury, Schizophrenia/Psychosis , and Toxic friendship

As this is fantasy, some of these mild warnings are metaphorical rather than literal. For example, I included "racism" in the mild section because the different races of Middle Earth, particularly elves and dwarves, have preconceived biases toward one another that lead to animosity and contention.
