Took me 5 months, but I finally read the latest release from Christopher Tolkien. In this video, I break down what the book is, some of what makes it important, and other tidbits I found interesting.

My video on the news that this book was coming is here:    • Beren and Luthien Coming May 2017  

On the theme of death in Tolkien's works, see this video:    • The Theme of Death in Tolkien's Mytho...
