Mine was probably the end of the Lord of the Rings trilogy. He paints this incredible picture of a world of magic, elves, and heroes. They have to destroy the ring, but in so doing they destroy all of that wonder that is a part of their world, leading to the Age of Men (i.e. our age). They succeed, but lose so much in doing so. That really struck me when I read the trilogy, that sense of loss despite having succeeded in saving Middle Earth.
