I loved it! I loved the story and it was so frustrating to leave it as it was just beginning. All the characters were so intriguing.
I loved Christopher's commentary, though it was in places a bit too granular for my understanding.
I lived the chapters about the Silmarillion. It wasn't what l was expecting, because l noticed other, different relationships with Tolkien's work. I wanted more! ⬇️
JazzFeathers But maybe what l loved the most were Tolkien's own words about the alliterative text and the storie expressed in that metric. We know and love Tolkien for his imaginative stories, and we often forget he was a very passionate scholar too. I'm always impressed by the depth, and the passion of his scholarly work, few as we have the chance to read. I wish l had the education to understand more of his scholarly work. 22h

Daisey I very much agree with your review as well. I‘ve come to appreciate this style of poetry so much through reading his work and find that description incredibly interesting. 13h
