"Takes place in the half-year after the end of To Green Angel Tower, and tells of the attempt by Isgrimnur and a force largely made up of Rimmersgard soldiers to destroy the remaining Norns as they flee back to their homeland and their mountain. It also answers some questions about what actually happened in the immediate aftermath of the fall of Green Angel Tower"--Goodreads.com.

Review of 'The heart of what was lost' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

I cannot describe how important Tad Williams' series Memory, Sorrow and Thorn is for me. It was a game changer. As a teen I got hooked on fantasy reading Michael Ende and then Tolkien, but in the 80s, the fantasy market was flooded with cheap Lord of the Rings knock-offs. There simply wasn't any tremendous fantasy out there. In 1990 I finished high school, and by the end of that year, I saw The Dragonbone Chair in the window of the English books section of my favorite bookstore. I struggled with the eloquent language a bit, because my English was hardly as good then as it is now, but I was blown away. It was so deep, so rich, compared to anything else I had read in years, and I loved the characters. To say I am excited Tad Williams is returning to Osten Ard would put it lightly.
