The Fellowship was scattered. Some were bracing hopelessly for war against the ancient evil of Sauron. Some were contending witht he treachery of the wizard Saruman. Only Frodo and Sam were left to take the accursed Ring of Power to be destroyed in Mordor - the dark Kingdom where Sauron was supreme. Their guide was Gollum, deceitful and lust-filled, slave to the corruption of the king. --back cover

reviewed The Two Towers by J. R. R. Tolkien (The Lord of the Rings, #2)

The pace increases!

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!
