the only piece of bad news, this is simply that: it’s all over.Unlike Star Wars, there is no original creator who we can look to come up with more and more episodes of a well-loved tale. J.R.R.Tolkien is dead, and with him the Fellowship died too.

"Well number one — and we have to count it as one or else it’s take up my whole list — is The Lord of the Rings. That’s pretty self-explanatory. I read the books when I was a kid and Peter Jackson just created this incredible world and environment that you get caught up in. It’s amazing."

Completing Tolkien's genre-defining (and dominating) epic fantasy, the Return of the King follows the Lord of the Rings trilogy to it's conclusion. With the company sundered and The Ring being carried by a reluctant Samwise against the might of Mordor it seems that all may indeed be lost.

The Lord of the Rings is certainly a long read in its entirety, but this is where everything that has been building comes together. Cleverly switching between the plot strands, from the faded grandeur of Gondor to the desperate crossing of Mordor to huge battles this has everything. And the returning hobbits find both them and the Shire have been changed, possibly forever.

The final ending of the book (even though Tolkien originally wrote another chapter) is a superb piece of understated melancholy with the ending of the Third Age and the clear message that all things change, even good things don't last forever. The bittersweet ending is one of the things that makes this one of the greatest works of fiction ever written, in any genre.
