The Shaping of Middle-Earth by J.R.R. Tolkien, Christopher Tolkien
4.0
The Shaping of Middle-Earth takes us - again - at the beginning of things, with Ambarkanta and the earliest versions of Silmarillion and the Annals. It's one more proof of the complexity and the immense work behind Tolkien's mythology, from the exile of the Noldoli until Melkor's overthrow.
At times, the story gets confusing due to the countless name changing, so it's not an easy read. But I would recommend it to the Tolkien geeks who want to keep track of the chronology of the earliest events and the birth of Middle-Earth.
