Book Review: The Heart of What Was Lost (Book #0.5 in the The Last King of Osten Ard series) by Tad Williams

Right off the bat, I feel like I should mention that The Heart of What Was Lost is the first book by Tad Williams that I’ve ever read, and I absolutely loved it. I have numerous reasons for why I decided to check out Williams’ books, but as strange and as random as it might seem to some people, one of the main reasons is because I’ve read the first three books in George R. R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire series (A Game of Thrones, A Clash of Kings, A Storm of Swords), and while I absolutely loved A Game of Thrones, I honestly ended up finding A Clash of Kings and A Storm of Swords to be rather disappointing and difficult to get through. I’m definitely a big fan of the TV show Game of Thrones, but I’ve found myself having a lot of complaints with George R. R. Martin’s writing for the A Song of Ice and Fire series, especially when I read A Clash of Kings and A Storm of Swords.

If I’m being completely honest about my thoughts regarding the A Song of Ice and Fire series, my disappointment and frustration with the series has gotten to the point where I’m not entirely sure that I even want to continue reading the series now. My disappointment with A Storm of Swords, and my desire to find some good adult fantasy books that I like since I’m a huge fan of YA fantasy books is ultimately the main thing that prompted me to look into Tad Williams’ books after seeing copies of The Witchwood Crown on display at Barnes & Noble. After reading this book in preparation for reading The Witchwood Crown, I have to say that I’m really glad that I decided to read The Heart of What Was Lost, because while I do have a couple of complaints about this book, it’s still the best fantasy book that I’ve read since I read A Game of Thrones back in 2015.

The Heart of What Was Lost is written from the point of view of three different characters, and it’s definitely a very rare example of a book where I honestly like all of the P.O.V. characters. Plus, I became very invested in each of their lives, which is something that I really loved about this book. There’s the mortal Duke Isgrimnur, who is the leader of Rimmersgard, and he’s leading an army in pursuit of the Norn; determined to end the their attacks, and defeat their ageless Queen Utuk’ku for good. There’s also Porto, along with his friend, Endri, who are two southern soldiers that joined the mortal army in order to help defeat the Norn. Finally, there’s Viyeki, a leader of the Norns’ military engineers, the Order of Builders, who’s desperately seeking a way to help his people reach their mountain, and prevent the destruction of their race.

Book Review: A Storm of Swords (Book #3 in the A Song of Ice and Fire series) by George R. R. Martin

Right off the bat, I have to admit that because I thought that A Clash of Kings proved to be rather disappointing, I definitely went into reading A Storm of Swords with somewhat lower expectations. That being said, I actually ended up liking this book a little bit more than A Clash of Kings. However, this book still proved to be rather difficult to get through in terms of its ability to maintain my interest throughout the entire book. I actually ended up taking two breaks from reading this book in order to read two other books. If I’m being entirely honest, I’ve definitely been kind of dreading writing this review, because I know that there are a lot of people who think very highly of this particular book in the A Song of Ice and Fire series. Admittedly, I held off on writing my review for A Storm of Swords for quite a while after having finished reading it. When it comes to discussing my thoughts on this book, I want to be perfectly clear that I definitely didn’t completely hate A Storm of Swords, but I do have quite a few problems with it; that being said, here are my thoughts on A Storm of Swords.

When it comes to which characters’ P.O.V. chapters I enjoyed the most, I definitely enjoyed Jon Snow’s, Arya’s, Daenerys’ Catelyn’s, Tyrion’s, and Bran’s P.O.V. chapters the most. I have to admit that I’m surprised that I enjoyed Catelyn’s P.O.V. chapters in this book as much as I did. While I’ve always liked Catelyn as a character, she’s never really ranked very high on my list of favorite characters; both in terms of the A Song of Ice and Fire book series, and the show Game of Thrones. Samwell Tarly’s P.O.V. chapters were definitely my least favorite out of all the P.O.V. characters in this book. I just thought that he was a very annoying character, especially when it comes to his first P.O.V. chapter.

The main problem that I have with this book is that I felt like George R. R. Martin really meandered quite a bit throughout the book in a lot of ways. While I really appreciate it when authors, especially fantasy authors, really take their time to try and create elaborate worlds for their books to take place in; sometimes I feel like Martin has the tendency to get too caught up in spending a lot of time describing things such as the food the characters are eating, or the clothes that the characters are wearing. In the grand scheme of things, those kinds of things aren’t really all that important when it comes to actually developing and progressing the various storylines that take place throughout the book. Don’t get me wrong; I don’t mind Martin spending some time talking about things like that, because I do think that it can help with the world building for the series. I simply think that this book and the series as a whole could definitely benefit from there being a better balance between describing some of the details that help establish the series’ setting and the society that the characters live in, and actually progressing the various storylines at a satisfying pace.

What do you know about the Game of Thrones finale? — Hillary
For starters, there’s the biggest assembly of major GoT characters since the pilot (or Joffrey’s wedding, depending on how you count major). But the finale is less about big action and more about dramatic moments. Plus: The Arya and Sansa conflict will also come to a head.
