A narrativa principal da missão de Tuor, e a que começa renarrando com mais detalhes sua viagem são ambas notáveis e de fato, se costuradas, dariam um bom livro, que possivelmente poderia prosseguir narrando os infortunados aficcionados por Silmarilions, Maedhros e Maglor (embora isso fosse efetivamente entulhar a construção da saga). Então, diferentemente da fraca história de Lúthien e Beren, temos um bom material aqui. Mas o fato de Tolkien pai ter levado a sério demais seu próprio mundo ficcional a ponto de não terminar quase nada, combinado com um filho demasiado escrupuloso, que quer dar um tratamento quase-científico aos textos, torna de novo a leitura truncada, incompleta, e meramente para fãs. Como disse em outra ocasião, não que os fãs não gostem, mas talvez parte deles sejam como eu - que gostam fazendo cara feia.
The story follows one of the Noldor, Tuor, who sets out to find Gondolin; during his journey, he experiences what the publisher described as "one of the most arresting moments in the history of Middle-earth": when Ulmo, the sea-god, rises out of the ocean during a storm. When Tuor arrives in Gondolin, he becomes a great man and the father of Eärendel, an important character in Tolkien's The Silmarillion. But Morgoth attacks, with Balrogs, dragons and orcs, and as the city falls, Tuor, his wife Idril and the child Eärendel escape, "looking back from a cleft in the mountains as they flee southward, at the blazing wreckage of their city". "They were journeying into a new story, the Tale of Eärendel, which Tolkien never wrote, but which is sketched out in this book from other sources," said HarperCollins. [John] Garth said The Fall of Gondolin contains Tolkien's "biggest battle narrative outside of The Lord of the Rings", but he predicted the "capstone" of the book would be the "exquisite" piece of writing in which Tolkien attempted to tell the whole story again, in the novelistic style of The Lord of the Rings. "In the first (finished version) of the story, you feel like you’re reading The Iliad," he said. "This one (which is unfinished), is more naturalistic." According to HarperCollins, Tolkien saw The Fall of Gondolin as one of his three "great tales" of the Elder Days, along with Beren and Lúthien and The Children of Húrin. The latter title was also a bestseller, after Christopher Tolkien completed the text left behind by his father and published it in 2007. [Several below-the-line comments on the review point out that Tuor was not one of the Noldor, but a mortal man]. Gehört zur ReiheIst enthalten inThe History of Middle-earth, Part One von J. R. R.
