`  == Relationship with Lord of the Rings? ==  ``It has a similarly complicated relationship with The Lord of the Rings.``  Other than both being High Fantasy and featuring a very important ring, I don't see it.  Indeed, Donaldson has said that TCTC needs the ring more than LOTR does: Covenenant has an emotional connection to it as his wedding ring, it wouldn't have made any difference to Frodo if there was ``one 'amulet' to rule them all``.  Maybe if the author had included a bit of justification I'd be okay with the statement, but as it stands I think it should be deleted.`
