The Lord Of The Rings, Chapter By Chapter: The Riders Of Rohan
(Updated on 25/04/2023) The chase is on and our three multi-racial heroes are running day and night. The first paragraph of this chapter is one of my favourite pieces of descriptive writing in the whole book and sets up the … Continue reading

The Lord Of The Rings, Chapter By Chapter: The Departure Of Boromir
(Updated on 17/04/2023) And we’re back. The Two Towers opens with one of the shortest chapters in the story, written in an age where summing up the previous section of the adventure was unheard of, thank God. After the drama of … Continue reading

(Updated on 24/10/22) This is, in many respects, a set-up chapter, and as such, it could be very boring. A lot of action will be found in the next chapter, the most action so far in the whole plot really, … Continue reading

It Is Not War #3: Helm’s Deep, Part One
