i liked how Fingoflin met his end...not the fact that he died..which stunk...but how he died..that was cool.
i didn't really like Eol. i also liked the fall of Gondolin...don't really no why..
I am also reading the Lost Tales and Unfinished Tales............... don't ask me how I manage to keep anything from reading 3 books at once................. but I can't seem to put them down!!! Some of the stories in those are sad and VERY educational
heather15644 said this in post #11 : Beren and Luthien was my favorite story. I guess I am just a romantic. And it gives history and heritage to some of the LOTR characters.
Oh that is my favorite story. It is very romantic. They loved each other so much. Luthien was one tough elf huh? She braved so much for her love of Beren.
Arwen and Aragorn's relationship parallels Beren and Luthien's in many ways. And I think it's interesting to point out that Arwen and Aragorn are both descendants of Beren and Luthien.
