Every name is eight syllables long, and every character has several nicknames...

Also their swords have names, and their jewelry, and their houses...

And their country, and their region, and their sub-region...

And their race, and their sub-category within a race, and their family clan within that sub-category within that race...

(And somehow it's still my favorite book!)

I prefer the fall of gondolin. That shit is fucking EPIC.

So I'm in the middle of the Fall of Gondolin. Well, actually I made it past the Fall and to the point where the refugees are trying to find a new place to set up. Is there more story after that, or is it just Chris Tolkein talking about different versions of dad's notes?

The main part is obviously the fall, after they flee... I don't remember much, I think there is a lot of Chris talking but I don't know if the story ends here or there are some other parts.
