The Mirror of Galadriel
After almost a month's rest in Lothlórien, I'm back with the Rings of Power tie in edition of The Fellowship of the Ring
The series was divisive - but I absolutely loved Morfydd Clark as Galadriel, and it only felt right to read this edition for The Mirror of Galadriel.
Talking of adaptations, it's sometimes too easy to let the Jackson film versions to overshadow your memory of the book. The images of a devastated Bag Shot Row and the Eye rimmed with fire, and the Ring growing heavy on its chain, that I had forgotten Frodo's other visions in the mirror. Gandalf the White! The white fortress with seven towers! A ship with black sails!
Having been reading The Fellowship of the Ring for the best part of a year now, the events of The Return of the King still seem very far off - but it's mind boggling to think that Frodo and Sam will reach the Cracks of Doom on the 25th March!
