Tolkien writes two towers and return of the king so interestingly… instead of doing everything chronologically he tells the entire story of one group (Aragon, Legolas, Gimli, Merry, Pippin) and then starts all over again from the beginning for the second group (Sam, Frodo) I haven’t rly seen that in fantasy before 😭
