I love true underdog stories. Not necessarily fantasy but lord of the rings, 300, ect. The thought of staring down an unsurmountable enemy and choosing to go to battle regardless is thrilling to me. Anyone know any good books in this vein?

Nothing bigger than the historical narrative of the working class vs. the wealthy elites.

If you can be arsed, start that tetralogy with Richard II. Not neaaarly as good as the ones he listed, but sets up the story proper
An additional recommendation is Anabasis. Look it up, shit is amazing

I'd also say to ideally start with Richard II, but it's the opposite of an underdog story

Exodus. Total underdog story.

Gandalf didnt have that much impact on the story after he died especially frodos part with the exception of redirecting aragorn from finding merry and pip. Which you could argue he would have done anyway after he met treebeard
The Iliad is all you need
