I’ve read quite a few parts of this previously, either due to individual curiosity about specific topics (such as the Quest of Erebor, Istari, Palantiri) or as part of other works (Narn i Hin Hurin – most of which is incorporated in The Children of Hurin), but I had not until now sat down and read all the various tales in order. Already a big fan of Tolkien, as a whole I quite enjoyed the collection, especially since Christopher Tolkien’s notes and analysis are kept at a minimum compared when compared with the various volumes of the History of Middle Earth.
Of the tales I had not read previously, I most enjoyed that of Aldarion and Erendis, as well as brief story of the Druedain, perhaps because I knew the least about them already.
Unfinished Tales of Númenor and Middle-earth is highly recommended for anyone who has already read The Hobbit, Lord of the Rings and The Silmarillion.
