   Regarding difficulty and dryness: Tolkien thought a really good fantasy book should read like history, and that means giving attention to lineages, who migrated where, names and so on. A good bit of detail then is given here as the elves, once they are created, migrated into various parts of the world. Dwarves come next, and humans last.

   Mar 23, 2021 · And, even beyond just having that knowledge to understand all the hidden aspects of the trilogy, The Silmarillion is good. It’s an expertly written book, or I wouldn’t still be weeping over it years after my first read, enough that I needed to reread it and try to convince even more people it was worth their time. I could go on and on and ...

   Jul 27, 2020 · For me to truly get immersed, I need a certain amount of character-drivenness. The Silmarillion had next to none. This also relates to another thing that annoyed me – the portrayal of evil in this book. Since we never got to see characters’ internal struggles, evil came across as absolutely black and white.

   The Silmarillion is Tolkien's best work imho, and The Silmarillion is also where the story of Middle Earth begins, in more ways than one. Stories in The Silmarillion were some of the first Tolkien composed and the events which consequently transpire in the book definitely show his brand of his obsessive, measured, and organic story flow.

   Is the Silmarillion a good book?

   • It's been compared to a textbook, and for good reason: Tolkien was notoriously meticulous about his use of language and geography, and as a result, parts of The Silmarillion can read a bit like an ancient history book, albeit one with glowing trees and werewolves and giant spiders. I zoned out before I even got to the good stuff.

   Should I read The Silmarilion?

   • It's a great read, especially for expansion of knowledge of Middle Earth, LOTR lore, etc. but it can be dry, as characterized by quite a few people already. Don't forget to read "The Children of Hurín" though; it's a more typical Tolkien read than The Silmarilion.

   Is the Silmarillion Tolkien's best?

   • Anyway, I found these random references hilarious. They didn’t seem to fit into the picture I had of Middle-earth at all, and I couldn’t help but snort whenever I came across one of them. So yeah, on the whole, I’d say that The Silmarillion definitely isn’t Tolkien’s best.

   Should I read The Silmarillion or the children of Hurn?

   • Don't forget to read "The Children of Hurín" though; it's a more typical Tolkien read than The Silmarilion. The Silmarillion was a great read after you read The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings and find yourself still wanting more. It fills in a lot of backstory you aren't aware of from the novels.
