![]() ![]() ![]() By this, what I mean is that the story isn’t adapted into a standard novel format. It wasn’t the story of Beren and Luthien itself that didn’t work for me, it’s the overall structure of this book. Although I’m super happy that I approached The Children of Hurin without knowing anything about it and ended up loving it, I wish I have known about the overall content of Beren and Luthien before I bought it because I wouldn’t have bought it. Beren and Luthien isn’t like The Children of Hurin. It’s pretty much a standard standalone fantasy novel format with a self-contained story that can be read and enjoyed by anyone who loves fantasy novel. The novel begins with a preface from Christopher Tolkien, then the story starts and continues until the end without break in prose form. ![]() The Children of Hurin has a novel format with a standalone story. Unlike The Children of Hurin, unless you’re a lover of poetry or you’re a diehard Tolkien fans, I doubt the overall content of this book will be enjoyable to read. ![]()
