The "Shibboleth of Fëanor" is probably my favourite part of the book, but "Dwarves and Men" is a very interesting essay as well- perhaps the only real look into the Wilderland's non-Dúnedainic history.

The two stories, "The New Shadow" and "Tal-Elmar" are both tantalizing glimpses into what could have been epics. Of the two, I lean towards Tal-Elmar's tale for preference, but either is delicious- as far as they went.

The history of the Appendices, by and large, is the more boring part of the book, but there's interesting information in there, and the first read through, at least, had some interesting insights.
