Welcome to Tomes, where we sit down and talk, discuss, theorize and review all things fantasy. Today we will be reviewing the first 2 episodes of Amazon’s The Lord of The Rings; Rings of Power. A warning this does contain SPOILERS for the show so you have been warned traveler. Rings of Power has been under a lot of criticism so we took it upon ourselves to sit down and watch the show so we could form some opinions ourselves. We believe we have been fair in our analysis of the show so far. There are some things that have been done well and things that have not. We are in no way Tolkein Scholars, we are both just fans of the Lord of The Rings series as a whole and love story telling, so if there is anything that we say in error to the Lore feel free to let us know in the comment section below so that we may learn as well, only thing we ask is please be courteous in your responses. We are here to learn. The Hosts are Cody and Jacen, they have been friends since High School and developed similar hobbies and passions like Dungeons and Dragons and playing video games. They both love world building and take inspiration from literature and pop culture.
