Una fantástica aventura, con excelentes personajes y un mundo increíblemente detallado que se llena de vida a cada giro página. Y es solo el principio de una gran historia.

I can't believe I am 24 years old, and this is my first time reading this! This is an amazing piece of mythology, the whole world-building is extraordinary, and I cried several times, especially at the end of "Return of the King". WOW! I'm so happy to have finally read it and "The Hobbit"!
My favorite quote: "And he took her in his arms and kissed her under the sunlit sky, and he cared not that they stood high upon the walls in the sight of many."
The language is just so beautiful! Now at last I'm realizing what so many other fantasy writers have imitated (badly).

I never thought I would be able to read the whole trilogy and enjoy it as much as I did.
<b>The Fellowship of the Ring:</b> 4⭐ It was kind of hard to get through since I didn't feel motivated to pick up the book.
BUT
<b>The two towers:</b> 4.5⭐👀 helloooo???? I enjoyed it so much more than the first one, the interactions of the characters and how they developed, the journeys they had to face alone... It was amazing, but near the end started to drag a little and slowed me down with my enjoyment. The character that surprised me the most was Gollum, he had so much depth and was kinda fun to read and analyze a bit.
<b>The Return of the King:</b> 4.5⭐ Still thinking about the rating, it was so emotional to see the people they had become, the friendships they've made along the way... The end for sure made me emotional and teared up a bit when Frodo saw Bilbo once again.

Not often do I have five stars to give readily to anything. This tale is one for the ages, it has heavily helped in the shaping of who I am today. This is not the first or last time I'll be reading this. A fantasy full of wonder and excitement, as well as dread and dismay. In the end of all things there is hope in this tale.
Tolkien and his wonderful stories are things I go back to over and over again and I'll never be able to stop.
I thank him and his son for bringing all this wonder to life, for all who wander are not lost.
