If you’ve been watching Amazon’s Rings of Power and something feels off — it’s because Amazon doesn’t even have the rights to the real story. The Fall of Númenor, edited by Brian Sibley, collects Tolkien’s actual Second Age writings into one chronological narrative: the rise and fall of Númenor, Sauron’s manipulation of the Elven-smiths, the forging of the Rings, the Last Alliance — all in Tolkien’s own words from The Silmarillion, Unfinished Tales, and The History of Middle-earth. It’s the story Amazon is pretending to tell, done right. In this video I break down why this book destroys everything Prime Video got wrong, and why reading the real Tolkien is the best antidote to one of the worst fantasy shows ever made.
