The second part of J.R.R. Tolkien's epic adventure THE LORD OF THE RINGS

The Company of the Ring is sundered. Frodo and Sam continue their journey alone down the great River Anduin - alone, that is, save for the mysterious creeping figure that follows wherever they go.

Thus continues the classic tale begun in The Fellowship of the Ring, which reaches its awesome climax in The Return of the King. --back cover

The pace increases!

5 stars

The depth of this world is enormous! The lore and history of the different lands and its people is at times very hard to follow, but you can tell that the outmost care was given to this world by the author. This book is far better than this first one, mainly due to the increased pace and its multiple high tension moments. The characters are all incredibly unique and ever growing as they face new challenges. The pace of book may still be very slow for most people as Tolkien loves to describe everything! But personally, that is what makes the world so vivid and beautiful. Overall incredible series so far!
