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?

The abbreviation of etcetera is etc. fyi.

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

Lord of the Rings is hardly an underdog story.

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

How can it be an underdog story when you literally have the most powerful being in the universe on your side?

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
