I think most things by Tolkien or related to Tolkien will get around 5 stars. It’s not an amazing book but the illustrations are really pretty and the aesthetic of it is really nice

I was honestly a little disappointed with the fact this book didn't go in depth about the battles but instead talked about where Tolkien found his influence for the elements of his stories.

Some beautiful artwork and makes a nice companion to Tolkien's work. I would have liked to see a bit more commentary on the history behind the inspiration for some of the battles and found the map illustrations very difficult to digest. I think the copy itself needed better proofreading as well.
