2$75.00 save 57%$32.08 at Amazon

Dive into the early history of the fictional universe Eä with The Silmarillion. This book meticulously breaks down the lands within, including Valinor, Beleriand, Númenor, and, of course, Middle-Earth. Structured into five distinct parts, it offers deep lore exposition, extensive historical accounts of the First Age, and summaries of the Third Age stories that fans of the Lord of the Rings franchise will recognize and cherish.

The Lord of the Rings universe has also been explored through various other mediums, such as Monolith's game Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor, crossover cards in Magic: The Gathering, and Prime Video's live-action series, Rings of Power. In IGN's review of Rings of Power season 2, they noted, "[season 2] does a great job portraying Sauron’s machinations and his impact on those he manipulates, but too much time is spent on disconnected subplots delivering only mediocre intrigue and thin characters."
