Yeah, I do think that they couldn't have written something that would satisfy Silmarillion book fans given that they didn't have rights to any of the Silmarillion characters. I am slightly boggled that they even tried, instead of writing something set in the period that they did have rights to. I happen to have written a multi-chapter fic about what Lothlorien was doing during the wars of the rings that proves it's possible to write long stories in that period that don't require any characters that Amazon wouldn't have had rights to. The decision to specifically write about a period where they weren't allowed to use any of the canonical stories or characters was a bit mystifying!
