It is not the Valar who sink Numenor and make the world round. They don't have the authority nor in terms of the later the power to do so. Tolkien's mythos is monotheistic. Only Eru can perform these acts. Manwe temporarily relinquishing his governance of the world and calls upon the one to take over when this happens....
Great review! I really loved the personal context. I read "The Silmarillion" when I was in junior high and not ready for it. This review made me want to pick it up again. And it made me want to go to Oxford to visit Tolkien's grave. Such a great photo!
Small correction. I state that I bought the hardcover. In truth the book along with many other’s in the Legendarium were purchased as a gift for my birthday by my friend Peter.
