Discounted Price: $32.08 at Amazon

The Silmarillion delves into the early history of its fictional universe, Eä, encompassing lands such as Valinor, Beleriand, Númenor, and, of course, Middle-Earth. Divided into five distinct sections, the book offers deep lore exposition, extensive historical accounts of the First Age, and summaries of the Third Age stories familiar to fans of The Lord of the Rings.

The Lord of the Rings franchise extends beyond literature, with adaptations into various mediums, including Monolith's game Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor, Magic: The Gathering crossover cards, and Prime Video's live-action series Rings of Power. In IGN's review of Rings of Power season 2, it was noted that, "\[season 2\] 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."
