A review by readamuffin
The Fall of Gondolin by J.R.R. Tolkien, Christopher Tolkien
5.0
Like Beren and Lúthien, The Fall of Gondolin not only contains prose of story telling, but also has commentary by Christopher Tolkien explaining changes and timelines on his father's work. The story goes beyond simply telling how Gondolin fell, and includes how Tuor came to Gondolin and what happened to the survivors afterward.
This book simultaneously answered many questions about this pre-Lord of the Rings era, and left me with many more questions. It grieves me that JRR Tolkien was unable to finish any of his works that predate Lord of the Rings, as Middle-earth had so much to give.
