What do users say? AI-generated summary

Readers especially appreciate Tolkien’s story and how it fills in the gaps surrounding the city’s fall. Fans of the author also like the book’s polished presentation and editing. However, several feel that the repeated variations of the story interrupt the flow, while the final version remains unfinished.

    It explains perfectly the fall of the city, that is, it fills the gap left by the Silmarillion.
    The only negative is that you read the same story with variations
    And in the end you read the final form of the story, which was so good but was left unfinished by John Tolkien
    Still, it's definitely worth it

    Very nice story! Like "The Children of Húrin", amazing stories, one "flaw" maybe is that in this book, like in "Beren and Lúthien", there are more variations of the story, resulting in having to read it 2 or even 3 times in a way, but still worth it!

    Basically, it wasn't for me. I gave it as a gift to a friend who I know is obsessed with Tolkien. He was very excited about the overall quality and appearance of the book. So, yes.

Description & Specifications

The Fall of Gondolin is the result of the clash between the two most powerful forces in the world: the fallen God Morgoth, representing ultimate evil, and the God Ulmo, the Lord of Waters. The beautiful Gondolin is the city founded by the Noldorin Elves in a hidden and inaccessible location, so that Morgoth cannot find them. Ulmo instructs a Man, Tuor, to go to the hidden city and deliver a message to its king, Turgon, that he must confront Morgoth if he wants to be rid of him. Tuor embarks on the difficult journey to Gondolin. Upon arrival, he delivers the message to Turgon, who refuses to leave the city and confront Morgoth. This refusal has dire consequences. Morgoth organizes a devastating attack on the city, and although the defenders' resistance is epic, it does not prevent the capture and plundering of the city. Tuor and the surviving Elves take refuge in the mountains, from where they watch in despair the destruction of their burning city. The Fall of Gondolin was, according to J.R.R. Tolkien, "the first real story of this imaginary world," which, along with Beren and Lúthien and The Children of Húrin, he considered the three Great Tales of the Elder Days.
