Yeah :D

It's very good, and keeps true to Tolkien's style and the original plotline in Quenta Silmarillion. It has a bit of a MacBeth air about it, in that several characters die because of madness or self loathing.

Ah, then it must be Locky who lives in that neck of the woods. Nice to hear MEC is still going, tbh I don't have the time for many forums now, just frequent on here and on AU.

Anyway, it's a good book, and the artwork in it is stunning.
