I love how seamlessly Tolkien weaves the narratives of characters across great distances that are still related. Having moments where we are with Frodo and Sam but get a timestamp or glimpse into the happenings in Gondor really grounds the reader in the progression of time in the story. This can be a big issue when you change POV but Tolkien does a wonderful job.

Gondor is besieged 😭😭 what hope remains to the free peoples of Middle Earth 😖☹️😔

The dead and the rohirrim have mustered!!
