The Heart of What Was Lost: A Novel of Osten Ard by Tad Williams
4.0
I read Memory, Sorrow and Thorn ages ago. I really can't remember anything. Except for like 3 names and the cover of the last book.
This book takes place 6 months after that series ended and is a sort of conclusion to that series, but also a prequel to the new one.
The bad guys are running back to the mountains and the good guys are chasing them...BUT, damn I rooted for the bad guys! Did I hate them back when? I have no idea. But here he made me sympathise with them. They wanted their land back. They wanted to protect their people. And if the humans won this last siege then everyone woman and child would be killed, raped and left to rot. The humans were angry and no, I did not see it from the perspective. I rooted for the Norns. I really liked how he did that. And I hope that in this new series I can still root for them, but I fear they might turn really bad and mad again.
I really enjoyed this short book. And I must read the series that comes out this summer. I am def looking forward to it now.
