sister_ruth 's review for:

The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien
4.5
adventurous emotional hopeful inspiring slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

Despite being slow, I found the pacing worked fantastically. Pacing seems slower during the scenes where characters are traveling through nature, and speeds up when characters reach settlements. It brings to life the short respites in the midst of a grand journey. 

The theme of corruption is handled really well, and the world building is top notch.
