I have to agree with Anna on this. I really like this chapter. Sure, it´s fun with all the soap-opera around the Feanorians, but I thought it was very interesting to find out what happened to some other guys, as well. I love that the chapter ends with Fëanor burning the ships. It connects it with the previous chapter, I think.
Also, the Dwarves! Oh, gimme more! I want to know more!
It´s interesting that the Elves didn´t care enough about the language of the Dwarves to learn to speak it, while the Dwarves were eager (it seems) to learn the language of the Elves. Why is that? Was it only because they (the Elves) thought the language too ugly to learn or was it because the Dwarves were reluctant to teach them? Maybe a combination of both? Or perhaps it was just plain Elven arrogance... 
And Menegroth! Oh, it must have been lovely! *sigh*
'In Beleriand King Thingol upon his throne was as the lords of the Maiar, whose power is at rest, whose joy is as an air that they breathe in all their days, whose thought flows in a tide untroubled from the heights to the deeps.'
Oh, I looove that part! So beautiful! He must´ve been very powerful, indeed. I think of Thingol and Melian as equals, sort of. Without one, there wouldn´t be the other. Well, not really. But I think they complement each other superbly. A bit like Manwë and Varda, actually. You know, when Manwë has Varda beside him he sees further, and when Varda has Manwë beside her she hears more clearly. |
