A fantastic companion to Tolkien's Legendarium, Fascista did a beautiful job highlighting values and themes alongside the spirituality notable present on Tolkien's stories. I really enjoyed reading this every morning and I think it has helped me explore my own experience through the lens of the Legendarium. I also love the resources Facista made available and highlighted in the book so readers have opportunity for further connection, contemplation and reflection. As a part of the Tea for Tolkien community, I am looking forward to sharing my feelings about this book as we complete our discussions on it. Woohoo!
