The Silmarillion by J.R.R. Tolkien

adventurous challenging dark tense slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

5.0

Read this again to help me get back in the swing of reading. Dense and complicated, it is a worthwhile read if you want to get enveloped in the world before LOTR, dealing with the ancient elves and gods. Remains Tolkien’s Greatest work.
