We’re talking fantasy storyland here. How many times have you finished a good set of books and just wished maybe there were more even though the author ended the series? If you’re a fan of Tolkien’s world building then the Silmarillion is a lovely addition to the mythos of the land and adds to the magic of it all.
I’ve read it twice and quite enjoyed the introductions of the characters we meet in the rest of the books. It really adds a lot of sense to how old some of the characters are, and most of all (imo) it lends strongly to the sadness of the passing of magic from the land that is intimated by Tolkien.
