  • Really this is such a wonderful listen. It reflects the lore in the Silmarillion accurately and in a relaxed way. The conversation between the couple are hilarious and sweet, and after reading the Silmarillion I completely loved going through all the episodes. Definitely worthwhile and easy to absorb and follow - especially if you’re interested but want something a bit lighter than the books, or want a little refresher. 10/10 definitely recommend
