Phillip J reviewed The shaping of Middle-earth by J.R.R. Tolkien (The history of Middle-earth -- 4)
Review of 'The shaping of Middle-earth' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
An excellent follow-up to The Lays of Beleriand. The evolution of writing flows well from the previous book to this one. With this book, I can start to see how the stories intertwine and affect each other, from Tolkien's earliest writings to the Silmarillian.
