I gave this 5⭐️ because I am absolutely biased by the subject matter. This was fascinating and I’m obsessed with everything LotR, but this read like a nonfiction and it was very slow-paced. There’s no real plot or main characters. It’s more like just chapters of facts about the world. Literally like a history book about middle earth. If you’re looking for a story like the other LotR books, you may be disappointed.
OK this is my first review ever, and English is not my first language, so...
THE SILMARILLION
One of the best books I've ever, EVER, read in my WHOLE LIFE, and definitely one of the saddest. It took me ages to read it. So many times I got confused with the names of the characters and the locations of all those freaking places that I just wanted to close the book and put it back in my shelf for a long time (if not forever). Tolkien's way of writing was so hard for me. I couldn't read more than 20 pages in a whole day, couldn't concentrate on it when I was tired, or got distracted for a second, forgot some of the things I had read, and loads of other problems.
But, man, I'm so glad I didn't give up, and feel proud of finishing such an amazing masterpiece.
If I could give it more than five stars, I definitely would have.
How the harmony of Ainur made the Great Music, and its echo in the Void made the World. How Melkor wanted to fill the Void with his own music, and this was the start of all the troubles.
How the Valar, the powers of the world, worked hard to prepare Arda for the Children of Ilúvatar.
How beautiful and wise the Elves were, and how f***ing sad their story was.
The story of the Silmarils, and the pride and love of Feänor for his work, the kinslayings, the curse of Mandos on the Noldor, the wars of Beleriand, the lies and treacheries Melkor spread that led to so many deaths and defeats...
The story of Beren and Lûthien, the way they loved each other, Lúthein's astonishing beauty, and her sacrifice...
Can't tell how these filled me with sorrow and pain...
And above all, the story of Túrin Turambar and the curse on him. The way he finally found his sister… This one really, really KILLED me.
I kinda think this book's really more than a fantasy. I guess it's a world that was real, and Tolkien truly lived in it and it's still real, but we can not see it. Otherwise, how on earth is it possible to create a world this big and perfect, and know every detail about it JUST IN YOUR MIND, and WRITE IT WITHOUT MISSING A SINGLE THING??
