El libro cuenta con 9 láminas del artista Alan Lee a todo color, además de ilustraciones en blanco y negro integradas en el texto. Todas las ilustraciones se han creado especialmente para esta edición.

El relato de Beren y Lúthien era, o se convirtió, en un elemento esencial en la evolución de El Silmarillion, los mitos y leyendas de la Primera Edad del Mundo concebidos por J. R. R. Tolkien. El autor escribió el relato durante el año siguiente a su regreso de Francia y de la batalla del Somme a finales de 1916.

Esencial para la historia y sin haber sido nunca alterado, el elemento central del relato es el destino que ensombrece el amor de Beren y Lúthien, dado que Beren era un hombre mortal y Lúthien una Elfa inmortal, cuyo padre, un gran señor Elfo, en clara oposición a Beren, impuso a éste una tarea imposible que debía llevar a cabo si quería desposar a Lúthien. Éste es el núcleo de la leyenda, que acaba conduciendo al absolutamente heroico intento de Beren y Lúthien de robarle un Silmaril al más malvado de todos los seres: Melkor, también llamado Morgoth, el Enemigo Oscuro.

En este libro Christopher Tolkien ha intentado extraer la historia de Beren y Lúthien de la extensa obra en la cual estaba entretejida. Para ilustrar una parte del proceso a través del cual este «Gran Relato» de la Tierra Media evolucionó a través de los años, Christopher ha narrado la historia en palabras de su padre ofreciendo, en primer lugar, su forma original, y a continuación pasajes en prosa y verso de textos posteriores que ilustran cómo ha cambiado la narrativa.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The book has 9 full-color plates by the artist Alan Lee, as well as black and white illustrations integrated into the text. All illustrations have been created especially for this edition.

The story of Beren and Lúthien was, or became, an essential element in the evolution of The Silmarillion, the myths and legends of the First World Age conceived by J. R. R. Tolkien. The author wrote the story during the year following his return from France and the Battle of the Somme in late 1916.

Essential to the story and never having been altered, the central element of the story is the fate that overshadows Beren and Lúthien's love, since Beren was a mortal man and Lúthien an immortal Elf, whose father, a great Elf lord, in clear opposition to Beren, imposed on Beren an impossible task that he had to carry out if he wanted to marry Lúthien. This is the core of the legend, which ends up leading to Beren and Lúthien's absolutely heroic attempt to steal a Silmaril from the most evil of all beings: Melkor, also called Morgoth, the Dark Enemy.

In this book Christopher Tolkien has attempted to extract the story of Beren and Lúthien from the extensive work in which it was interwoven. To illustrate a part of the process through which this "Great Tale" of Middle-earth evolved over the years, Christopher has narrated the story in his father's words by first offering its original form, and then passages in prose and verse from later texts that illustrate how the narrative has changed.

A Beta Worth Rooting For
Format: Kindle
In Spare, Violet Fox flips the omegaverse on its head, giving us a Beta heroine determined to make her mark. Joining the Beta Trials to support her sick father, she's thrown into a pack that doesn't want her, especially the possessive Alphas. But here's the twist: their sweet Omega turns out to be her scent match. Cue the angst, forbidden tension, and a slow-burn romance that will make your heart ache in the best way. Violet Fox delivers an emotional, refreshing take on the genre, proving Betas aren't "spares." They're stars.

Beta, Alpha, Omega oh my!
Format: Kindle
Omegas are precious and given to Alphas & their packs... but the Betas want in too. To this end, the Beta government is rolling out its trial of assigning a Beta to each Alpha-Omega pack. But forcing a Beta into a pack where they are not wanted will not end well... Of course, no one expected the Omega to fall for the assigned Beta. Great read and cliffhanger

A familiar story, just with…..less.
Format: Kindle
So, as other reviewers make clear, this is very similar to Pack Darling and The Beta. It’s much closer aligned with The Beta, in plot and maybe more like Pack Darling with characters. That being said, I don’t hate this…..but it wasn’t great either. It’s both books mentioned but just….less. Less angst, less emotion, less feeling. The plot feels very half fleshed out, and the “bad guy” feels underwhelming. I didn’t really feel any real emotions from and of the male leads, except maybe Oliver. The others fell sorta flat for me. And Mika makes herself out to be this big bad ass straight outta training and then we never see it from here again with the one fitting room incident as the exception. SPOILER: The whole, “Oh, I’m actually probably an Omega, but I don’t wanna be but I do actually wanna be but no one can ever know my secret that I do nothing to hide “ thing fell so flat. She never commutes to believing she was secretly an omega, but also mentions her “secret” a lot. It just felt so manufactured. I’m intrigued enough to read part 2 and see how the author closes everything out, but this is not one I’ll recommend or ever come back to.

Fallen Angels, fae, vampires, oh my!
Format: Kindle
Rating: 4.5 | Spice: 2 (but a good slow-burn) • Main Characters: Huntyr and Wolf • I couldn’t wait to read this book; there was so much hype about it! And there was no doubt why. I fell in love with the characters and the plot itself. This book is mainly plot driven more than friction driven but it’s easy to follow along with. The characters are fun, easily understood. The main setting is at an academy where both the main characters are going through trials and building strength for the final test, The Transcendent. There are fantastic side characters as well. I loved the camaraderie between Huntyr and her friends. But we don’t like Lanson. 😆 We do have some plot twists that come into play throughout the book. Secrets and betrayal to be seen. I did adore Wolf and Huntyr’s relationship. It was a classic slow burn trope. They didn’t hit it off fast, but in time their feelings grew. I loved their banter, so sexy. Wolf is your next book boyfriend; Huntyr is your next vampire assassin independent bad-a*s female. Themes include loyalty, trust, self-discovery, a true slow burn romance. Side note: book ends on a angsty cliffhanger! • Emily, thank you for writing this awesome novel and I cannot wait to devour Book 2, Blood So Brutal! 😍 • Happy reading, my lovelies! xo

“My heart bows to you and you only, Huntress.”
Format: Kindle
3.5 🌟 This book popped up in my KU recommended reading suggestions and the synopsis sounded like what I was in the mood for. I'm so glad I took a chance on it. I went into this knowing absolutely nothing about it and ended up really liking it. I love when this happens. The main characters are likeable and I easily found myself rooting for them. There is a mystery element to each of their backstories that I enjoyed watching unfold and can't wait to get more of. Wolf, in particular, has me fixated. Love him. I found this to be an entertaining, addictive read with a plot that moves along at a good pace. It reads so easily I found myself very reluctant to put it down. Lots of twists and turns and the angst is there. A good set up for the next book to come, for sure. My issues with this book....the dialogue feels a bit juvenile at times and there is a repetitive over use of a particular word phrasing that I found myself giving the ole eye-roll to. There are, without a doubt, some pretty cliche moments that gave me a bit of the cringe. I think this could've certainly 100% benefited from more depth regarding the world building. Perhaps the world building was sacrificed to keep the pacing quick? Just a guess. Also, the lack of consistency of character for the FMC was really evident and so she feels quite illogical at times. Overall, this was a fun and enjoyable read that hit the spot well enough for me. That ending certainly has me impatiently pining for book 2!
