I miss my old self who hasn't read this book.
Honestly.
This is definitely the darkest Tolkien I have ever read—and yes, even more than the kinslaying. But it is also the best of Tolkien.
You're left wondering whether Morgoth's evil force was truly that powerful, or was it all truly the characters' deeds unraveling their own paths.
