one thing you also have to bear in mind wile you are reading the silmerilion is that is not a storie like LOTR, but a history of middle earth. it is phasanating to learn about all te events leading up to the war of the ring and the third age of MI, but that is realy the climactic point in Tolkiens writing. when you view it in that light the ending seames more like a begenning and less like an ebrupt ending.
(just my take on it)
