Unfinished Tales of Númenor and Middle-Earth by J.R.R. Tolkien

adventurous challenging informative slow-paced

First of all, so much appreciation and respect for Christopher Tolkien. I was impressed with what he did in The Silmarillion, but Unfinished Tales took his important role in Tolkien's universe to another level. Weaving illegible manuscripts, jottings, and passages into beautiful narratives diving even deeper into the history and tales of Middle-Earth and Númenor. Although incredibly dense at times, this felt like such an important read, allowing me to grasp an even greater understanding and respect for Tolkien's legendarium.  I will most likely be coming back to this again in years to come.
