*The Silmarillion* offers an in-depth look into the early history of its fictional universe, Eä, and its various lands, including Valinor, Beleriand, Númenor, and Middle-Earth. Divided into five distinct parts, this book provides deep lore exposition, extensive historical accounts of the First Age, and summaries of the Third Age stories that fans cherish, notably *The Lord of the Rings*.

The Lord of the Rings franchise has transcended books to captivate audiences across multiple mediums. From Monolith's engaging game *Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor* to Magic: The Gathering crossover cards, and even Prime Video's live-action series *Rings of Power*, the universe continues to expand. In IGN's review of *Rings of Power* Season 2, they noted, "[Season 2] does a great job portraying Sauron’s machinations and his impact on those he manipulates, but too much time is spent on disconnected subplots delivering only mediocre intrigue and thin characters."
