thomas_hense 's review for:
The Heart of What Was Lost
by Tad Williams
Story told through three point-of-view characters; Isgrimnur - Duke of Elvritshalka; Porto - a mercenary soldier in Isgrimnur's army; and Viyeki - a norn builder.
The book follows Isgrimnur’s pursuit of the Norn's retreat to their mountain stronghold, Nakkiga.
Through Viyeki's point of view we see into the lives of the Norns - their culture, history, government, military, magic, motivations, relationships, even emotions.
This novella does not require the reader to have read the previous three books of Memory, Sorrow and Thorn and because it has a solid ending without any cliff hangers, it can be read as a stand-alone. However, as a reader of the previous three books I get the sense that it setting the stage for 'The Witchwood Crown'.
It is fast paced with lots of action and political intrigue and - for me - an emotional moment near the end similar to what I experienced near the end of To Green Angel Tower.
