   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.

   May 27, 2017 · My Rating: 5/5. The Silmarillion by is an in-depth summary of the creation of Arda and the events that passed during the first, second, and third ages of Middle-earth. The history of this world that J. R. R. Tolkien has built is wonderfully complex so The Silmarillion is a perfect starting point for anyone who wants to learn its history.

   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.

   Mar 23, 2021 · Growing up, J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings was one of the first classic epic fantasies that I ever read.I read the books out of order–trilogy first, The Hobbit second–though that was entirely because my father wanted to see the movies in the theater, so he handed me The Fellowship and told me to get reading so I could join him.

   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.

   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 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.

   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.
