'Beren and Lúthien' to be released as a stand-alo

I thought Children of Hurin was pretty boring. I've read the Silmarilion and I don't think my understanding of the events of Turins life was improved by reading the stand alone version.

Ill still probably check this out though.

I liked CoH alot because I read it before the Silmarillion. Going into a longer book already knowing the story is going to be a bit boring.

Give it a fucking rest and leave the texts the man didn't actually put reasonable work into for the Tolkien scholars

I consider myself an amateur Tolkien scholar so I'm pretty hyped for this.

I thought Chris Tolkien used to be protective as fuck over his dad's work? What happened?

The complete version of Children of Hurin he release was far superior to the synopsis in the Silmarillion. Maybe he just wants the best and most complete versions of the mythos out there?

Could be money too.

Considering the time between releases and the quality of CoH, I cannot see the disrespect or greed anywhere. He could have released 10 mediocre stories he wrote himself and made millions.

There isn't any new lore left is there?

It's just expansions of Silmarilion stories now isn't it?
