A review by senholto
The Silmarillion by J.R.R. Tolkien

5.0

Wow, what can I say. Preparation is everything, before you sit down to read this book. It can be an impenetrable read with the various genealogies and geographical landmarks. You get little bursts of intense scenes which are absolutely thrilling. Reviewing this book is a little different here, due to the fact, this book is basically a glorified collection of notes and world building. The title of the book is a bit misleading. The book contains a book called the Quenta Silmarrillion but there are four other briefer books. After reading this book, it is worth reading the stories of Luthien & Beren along with the fall of Gondolin. As these are updated material on the originals in this book. Incredible piece of work despite its unfinished status.
