![]() ![]() And The Silmarillion gives you more of it than any other book. There's something brilliantly evokative about this book though, like there is to Tolkien's legendarium in general. I'm convinced there are many who slaved their way to the seeming endless passages of LOTR and emerged victorious at its final pages who attempted The Sil and just said "Fuck this". And because of the endless array of characters, many with more than one name, locations, many with more than one name, events, and the detailed descriptions of titles, heraldry, genealogy etc etc. The full narrative is nothing if not unwieldy because of this. From the Music Of The Ainur and the creation of the Universe, to the start of the Fourth Age. Encompassing, thousands, perhaps tens of thousands of years, or millions even. My third "reading" full of this tome.Įven though is less then half the size of Tolkien's most famous work, I never seized to be amazed on how expansive it actually it. I finished the audiobook of this last week. ![]()
