A great book that really adds much depth and colour to Middle earth. Even with the audiobook and its constant forward pace it was a tough dense read. As this books is really a compilation of various shorter novels the tone and style does change throughout. What starts very hand wavy and spacey get more and more grounded and with a style inline with that of the LOTR trilogy.
On completion of this book I felt so much more excited about middle earth and had greater appreciation of Tolkiens work.
