The Fall of NĂșmenor by J.R.R. Tolkien
I really enjoyed this. I love the Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit but really donât know much about the rest of Tolkienâs legendarium.
The book is a bit odd, being a mix of stories and âhistoryâ, with scholarly footnotes thrown in. Itâs a strange read because you never sink into the fiction. Itâs not a novel. It almost reads like a long blog post.
But I really liked learning more about NĂșmenor. It adds some more colour to the stories of Aragorn, Gondor and Sauron.
