Children of Hurin is an interesting read. Reading the Silmarillion felt a bit like a chore to me but Children of Hurin is well put together as a story that hold up on his own.

PS: For those that don't know Children of Hurin is part of the Silmarillion. J.R.R Tolkien's son (Christopher Tolkien) took this story, filled up the blank using his dad notes to turn this story into a full novel.

I liked Children of Hurin, but it’s more of a dark tale like old, old stories and legends where nobody ends up having a good life. It’s almost all tragedy.

It is definitely a tragedy, not a light read for sure
