I finished The Children of Húrin last night. Excellent book, and a wonderful, but tragic story. The writing flowed very well, with none of those chunks of explanatory text from CT that I thought might have put me off.

I've been seeing lots of adverts for this on FB:



It's released on the 1st June. Must look out for it..

The Children of Hurin was a very satisfying read. Like that, I'll get Beren and Luthien as soon as it comes out. Thanks for reminding me about it actually. I need to pre-order it.

It's on my wish list, but I have other stuff going on now. Very soon, though. Very soon.

Not yet. Reading through some reviews though, it seems that it's not a single completed story, like the Children of Húrin. Instead, it's different versions of the Beren and Luthien story, as it changed over time.

TBH this puts me off a little, as it was what I didn't like about the History of Middle Earth series.

Also, the Kindle price is £12.99, when the paperback is £8.99. Why do they do this?  >:(

They have the hardcover on Amazon for $42. WTF! Let me check Barnes and Noble.

Out of stock online. Fuckers. There's one down the street from my job. Hopefully I'll have time to go there today.
