    All right.

    It's time to confess.

    This is my biggest shame as a fantasy nerd, one that haunts me wherever I go, and a shame that will one day be solved, I just don't know when.

    I have not finished the Lord of the Rings.

    I have only read The Fellowship of the Ring, and I have only seen the Fellowship of the Ring.

    And it's a problem.

    The movies should be the easy part; my dad was having us watch them as a family, but he left on a work project for a few weeks. Now that he's back, I should be able to catch up to the end soon enough. The books are harder. Considering they were written a long time ago, and in their style, its just really hard for me to get into in the way that I do a Sanderson novel, for instance.

    Despite these facts, my dad, who just arrived home, decided to show us the first episode of Rings of Power last night. And because I don't really know how it fits in with the rest of the world, I can't make a fully formed opinion on it...but based on what I've seen, I think it looks great. I want to watch more, and the little tidbits of lore I have received are really enticing.

    So there. Perhaps you will get to witness my full fledged transformation into a Tolkien Lore nerd over the coming months.

    I certainly hope that's the case, at least.

      That's okay. Tolkien is amazing, but understandably intimidating to get into. I hope you come to love it as much as we have! :D

      How can you call yourself a fantasy fan and not have read The Lord of the Rings? I will never be able to talk to you again, after such a treason.

      No, seriously, there's no problem with not getting into a book or an author, no matter its impact on a genre. And even though I love LOTR, I can see plenty of perfectly valid reasons for not living it, most notably the style. 

      I hope you will get to love it eventually though. :D

      Not really though. It took me awhile to get into LotR, but it's so, so good. Re-re-(re?)-reading Fellowship rn.
