C.S. Lewis wrote a book called A Grief Observed after the death of his wife. It's a beautiful reflection of grief, but given that he was still deeply grieving his beloved even after 30 days had passed, very unhelpfully, the APA would now probably say that the book is nothing but the rant of the day.

Being the Third Part of The Lord of the Rings

The book was referenced as the third installment of the series, pointing out that the actual third movie is titled "The Return of the King", countering Joy Reid's fabricated title.
At least check the titles because the third movie is in fact called The Return of the King because it turns out that Gondor not only gets a king, but part of the whole point is that it did need one.
The quote, Gondor needs no king is from Boromir. And in the movie when he says that phrase, there's ominous music playing in the background, which is a signal that we're not supposed to agree with it.
