And that is another reason why the Ring should be destroyed: as long as it is in the world it will be a danger even to the Wise. For nothing is evil in the beginning. Even Sauron was not so.
I was surprised by how nostalgic I felt reading this first LOTR volume, which I’ve never read before — the ‘epic’ sense of adventure reminded me a little of reading Percy Jackson and Harry Potter as a child.
I’m rooting for Aragorn and Sam, always <3 (but can’t believe Arwen is so much less present here than the films!)
But yeah, if we’re being honest, there’s a lot of slightly dull walking around various parts of the wilderness that require patience to get through.
Yet such is oft the course of deeds that move the wheels of the world: small hands do them because they must, while the eyes of the great are elsewhere.

As this is fantasy, some of these mild warnings are metaphorical rather than literal. For example, I included "racism" in the mild section because the different races of Middle Earth, particularly elves and dwarves, have preconceived biases toward one another that lead to animosity and contention.aceofsphades_reads's review against another edition

Here’s the three main trigger warnings in my opinion, I’ll be explaining a bit of how they appear in the book without much spoiler.
- Violence: They have to fight to escape other creatures.
- Grief / Death: One of the members of the Fellowship dies in the 3/4 of the book and in the rest of the book we see how the others are grieving.
