The Silmarillion V
(QUENTA SILMARILLION: OF THE RUIN OF DORIATH, OF TUOR AND THE FALL OF GONDOLIN, OF THE VOYAGE OF EĆRENDIL AND THE WAR OF WRATH) With Part 5 of our ongoing review of The Silmarillion , we finally finish the Quenta Silmarillion! This one took the longest to write and frankly, we blame TĆŗrin Turambar. We weren't eager to go back to Middle Earth after that . Another problem was that we've been trying to keep this snarky and there's little to snark about here. (You can read the previous reviews here: Part I , Part II , Part III , and Part IV ) We knew these next three chapters were going to be sad just by reading the titles, but we weren't prepared for just how bad it was going to get. Naturally, much of it was caused by FĆ«anor’s sons, whose sole function in this whole book is to ruin everything for everyone. At least, this time, they were considerate enough to finally die, which is something they really should've done a long time ago. Chapter 22: Of the Ruin of Doriath
