Comment on This Taste of Shadow

  1. I agree with you. Melkor and Sauron are a very unique pair. What got me was a passage in the Silmarillon that said, when Melkor was imprisoned Sauron couldn't be found and held his loyality through the entire time. He continued his masters work and hide in Utumo (which was never found by the Valar as well). Not to mention that Sauron never gave up on his master, even after he was defeated after the War of Wrath.

    1. Exactly! Sauron's devotion just floors me, and it really deepens his character. It's much better that the 'lighthouse from hell' he was depicted as in LoTR, that's for sure. lol!
