Narn I Chin Hurin

the Tale of the Children of Hurin

As a whole the story is quite epic in it's Tolkien style, and it is great to get more than just a note-ish glimpse into the tale from the First Age and of the peoples of Beleriand. The Silmarillion offers quite a look into it as well, but I felt more in tune while reading this and I believe Christopher Tolkien did well in bringing the story to it's presentation. The tale is definitely wrought in sadness and I felt pain for Hurin and what became of his family. Sad tale indeed. Was a bit thrown off with the Turin and Niniel relationship, and felt relieved at the eventual unraveling of that awkward situation. Arthurian reminder. Overall, if you're a Tolkien nut as am I and can't get enough of the tales, then have a go and journey into the Eldar Days.
