A review by vulturetime
The Lays of Beleriand by J.R.R. Tolkien, Christopher Tolkien

3.75

Not entirely sure as to how to rate this. Once again, I don't think any of the History of Middle Earth series is for anyone who isn't very invested into the world of Middle Earth as well as how that world came to be developed. The primary stories in this volume are the Children of Hurin and the Lay of Leithian, which exist in multiple other books. As a result, though it was refreshing to see them in a new format and with new details, the stories do get repetitive. So while I enjoyed the book, I won't deny that I also got bored, and reading this digitally was a bit of a chore, as the index and commentary is especially useful when you can quickly flip into the pages instead of having to bookmark the pages to go back and forth. Might bump up to a 3.75, but I'm not certain.
