The Two Towers by J.R.R. Tolkien
5.0
There’s literally so much nostalgia and grief involved, only Tolkein could write such high fantasy and have the reader experience the story like the characters without depending by any means on romance/inappropriate language or unnecessary portrayal of human affection. All of which are deal breakers to me.
The plot truly develops here and the connections start to appear, the depth and essence of LOTR lies in this part of the series and we see multiple perspectives of the characters, lots of changes in the sceneries.
Several flashbacks are mentioned to Tolkein’s chronogically older work ‘The Silmarilion’ and his posthumous publicated collection under the name of ‘Unfinished Tales’ that was edited by his son, Christopher, giving more insight to the characters or the forebearers of the characters and the history of Middle Earth.
