When I read Turin’s story especially his ending I was like is this still Tolkien? Lol I loved it and there’s really a huge contrast between the flavors of the Sil and the LOTR trilogy

I can easily see how some people might prefer the Silmarillion to the LOTR. Once you read the Sil you realize that LOTR only covers a fraction of time and that so many stories come before it. The Sil is also a lot grittier and darker, if you haven’t gotten to Turin’s story yet then buckle up

The poetry is one aspect that reminded me of the Icelandic Saga’s the most

I absolutely will, my wife got me a boxed set of the additional works that included the Silmarillion and others including a huge set called the History of Middle Earth

So good, challenging the lord of evil to single combat, such a hard ass move
