This is an absolute MASTERPIECE. J.R.R. Tolkien is a genius.
The Silmarillion is so dense, so full of history and characters and action, almost biblical. It is nothing like The Hobbit or The Lord of the Rings, it is more of a condensed story of the creation of Middle-Earth and the events that unfolded during the First-Age and the beginning of the Second.
The way the story is told can be very difficult, almost overwhelming, but at the same time, you learn so much! Every aspect of the story leaves you in complete awe.
This is truly a work of art from one of the most talented writers of all time.
