Continuing the story of The Hobbit, this three-volume boxed set of Tolkien’s epic masterpiece, The Lord of the Rings, features striking black covers based on Tolkien’s own design, the definitive text, and three maps including a detailed map of Middle-earth. Sauron, the Dark Lord, has gathered to him all the Rings of Power – the means by which he intends to rule Middle-earth. All he lacks in his plans for dominion is the One Ring – the ring that rules them all – which has fallen into the hands of the hobbit, Bilbo Baggins. In a sleepy village in the Shire, young Frodo Baggins finds himself faced with an immense task, as his elderly cousin Bilbo entrusts the Ring to his care. Frodo must leave his home and make a perilous journey across Middle-earth to the Cracks of Doom, there to destroy the Ring and foil the Dark Lord in his evil purpose. Since it was first published in 1954, ‘The Lord of the Rings’ has been a book people have treasured. Steeped in unrivalled magic and otherworldliness, its sweeping fantasy has touched the hearts of young and old alike.

The cards are quite handy. They include the N5 and N4 Kanji;s one the front of the cards with some reading of the Kanji in hiragana on the side, On the back is the reading in English with a mnemonic picture to remember the Kanji. There are also some words included that shows the different readings of the kanji. The ring is fantastic and easy to use. It is also large enough to hold the first 100 with ease.
I just finished this book and wow I absolutely enjoyed everything about this book. The writer dives straight into it . I was having her pull on my heart strings a few pages in . She subtly just drops things and leaves you gasping . I appreciate how this book took us to a different realm the most, it's refreshing and I cannot wait to read the rest.
I have started to read the book and everything is so easy to understand and follow. I love that she has given recipes, a day-to-day eating plan guide and devotionals for those days. I am only starting the fast in June but I am really excited to get going with this, to try the recipes and to lean in closer to God.
Having read, “The Priest and the Gondolier” and “Theft from Delos,” Mervyn Nel has the ability to transfer the reader into another place and time. His novels are highly entertaining while at the same time being thought provoking. His characters are well developed, the plots are creative and his descriptions of the settings and backgrounds are a delight to read.
