----------------------------------------------------

The Silmarillion: Illustrated by J.R.R. Tolkien

Originally priced at $75.00, you can now purchase the illustrated edition for just $32.08 at Amazon. *The Silmarillion* delves into the early history of the fictional universe Eä, exploring the lands of Valinor, Beleriand, Númenor, and, of course, Middle-Earth. Structured into five distinct parts, this book offers a deep dive into the lore, historical accounts of the First Age, and summaries of the beloved Third Age stories, including those from *The Lord of the Rings*.

The *Lord of the Rings* franchise has transcended literature, inspiring works in various other mediums such as Monolith's game *Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor*, crossover cards in *Magic: The Gathering*, and the live-action series *Rings of Power* on Prime Video. 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."
