Friendship dies in the face of cruelty; new loyalties are forged, blood merged into new life . . . In a single moment of defiance, driven by a rash act of compassion for a stranger, Rhodri turns his back on his unit, his country and his comrades in arms. Taken in by the Plains Hawk tribe, he finds compassion, love, and a new purpose for his unique memory. But just as he is beginning to accept his decision, an invasion from the east throws the tribe into chaos, and threatens to destroy the new life he has built. Rhodri must rally the tribes to take on his former comrades, his former friends, and fight the forces of the crown he swore to protect-and the sister he has never known. Thrust into the role of leader, he must use the very lessons he learned in the King's Third against his closest friends, and his most bitter enemy.

Nomad: Art of Forgetting Book 2
Nomad is the second book in the 'Art of Forgetting' series - and the last, which caught me out a little. I was expecting a trilogy, so got a little perplexed when it looked like it was drawing to a conclusion too early :)
I dont do summaries of a book - I always seem to miss out something important, or inject a spoiler. What I write about is what I thought about the book.
The first thing that struck me was the difference in style between the two volumes. The first volume, Rider, had a slight rawness about it. Not, I think, down to writing skill, but more probably a deliberate style choice. Our hero, Rhodri, is a boy, and a that age everything has sharp edges.
In Nomad there is a sense of maturity, of fullness. The plot is one of being forced to reconsider ones beliefs, of growing acceptance evolving into deep belonging, and finally into Rhodri changing the world to protect that which is his. I get flavours of Robin Hobbs, but also strong parallels with The Last Samurai and Dances with Wolves.
As with 'Rider', where Hall excels is her sense of place. Without long, laborious, expositional passages of description, Hall paints pictures in short brush-strokes of words, letting a location evolve in your mind rather than laboriously laying everything out for you. I very much like that style, and find it more visceral.
One thing I confess I did miss from ‘Rider’ was the frank and sensitive LGBT subplot. It is nodded to in passing in ‘Nomad’, but there is no real substance to it.
That aside, it was a book to be devoured not read, and I lost significant sleep time over it. Rhodri is a very solid lead, and just wait until you see what he ends up married to.
Highly recommended.

A solid and worthy conclusion to the first book on the Art of Forgetting duology!
I think I enjoyed this one even a bit more than the first. I loved to explore the new setting and society! The nomad lifestyle was a great change of pace and a breath of fresh air.
I also liked that this one had a bit more "fantasy" to it, even though it's still on the low side. The bits that were worked into this new place were well handled, and I especially enjoyed that there was a bit more female characters with important roles!
There's battle and death and destruction, but there's also family, loyalties and friendships. I'm not a fan of dramatic romance, and so I absolutely enjoyed a stable relationship instead of the usual "will she, won't she" sort of drama. Here it was more about family bonds and some bromance, which I love!
Another nod for having a bi sexual man as a main character, which still isn't seen to often, and yet not having it a major plot point, but simply one characteristic of him.
All in all a joy to read!

At the end of part one of Joanne Hall’s epic, fantasy, adventure novel, The Art of Forgetting: Rider, the hero, Rhodri, for he truly is a hero in the most classic sense of the word, makes an impetuous and life-changing decision. Realising he cannot allow a captured, young Atrathene woman to be raped and abused by Captain Drusain and other members of the Kings Third, he escapes with her on his battle charger, Liberty.
Book Two: Nomad opens a few minutes later with Rhodri and the girl hiding in the cold waters of a nearby river. They overhear Drusain telling his men, they must search until nightfall before giving up. Rhodri and the girl must hide in that freezing stream until dark. During that time, they exchange names; a sign of honour and trust among the members of Nasira’s tribe. Once they feel safe from the searching soldiers, they swim across the river and miraculously Liberty returns. Nasira convinces Rhodri he will be welcome with her tribe, so they set off in search of them.
The welcome he receives from the suspicious warriors is far from warm. In a gut-wrenching scene, Rhodri is permanently manacled. Much of the first half of this book is taken up with his becoming acquainted with the ways and customs of a group of people totally different from his own – a masterful piece of world building without resorting to simple info-dumping. Gradually as Rhodri and Nasira fall in love, we become part of his struggle to be accepted as a ‘short-hair’; we watch as he gains the respect and finally the trust of his adopted tribe and family.
With winter on the way, the King’s Third and the other marauding soldiers of Queen Serren’s army must withdraw to their own lands. The people of the Plains Hawk travel to their winter encampment in the massive Kharikan plateau where they meet other tribes within the Atrathene nation.
The following spring the tribes scatter to spend the summer on the grasslands: the violent soldiers of the queen’s army return to take up their campaign of raping, torturing and killing as many of the Atrathenes as they can catch. When Rhodri’s adopted sister, Odval, is captured and viciously abused, before she is rescued, Rhodri realises that the only way for his people to be safe is to unite and form an army that can overcome the queen’s soldiers.
Trigger Warning There is an awful lot of killing and violence in this book. To the author’s credit, none of it reads as gratuitous. It is essential to the working out of the story, but reading some of the scenes requires a strong stomach.
Rhodri is fighting two wars. Externally, he is willing to do whatever is required to win freedom for his adopted people. Internally he is trying to prove to himself that he is not like Valery, the evil man who stole him from his parents and raised him as his son. This is a conflict that is written in blood across much of the book.
Thematically, the two halves of this epic are very different. From trans-gender Astan’s suicide to Rhodri’s coming out as bi-sexual, Book One: Rider, made some very powerful points about the need to accept one’s sexual and gender identities. There is much less emphasis on LGBT issues in Book Two: Nomad. Here we are frequently dealing with the problems and causes of violence – especially violence towards women and those that are different. The real villain of both books is the bitter and twisted Drusain, who can only achieve sexual arousal from hurting his partners or victims. This is a man whose anger and hatred of women resonates through every part of his body and psyche. He is the counterpart in the physical world to the ghost-father, Valery in the spirit.
Women fortunately, are much more prevalent and important in Nomad. The Atrathene tribes are hunters and with them, woman are trained in the same way as men: to track, to hunt and to fight. Traditionally it is men who speak in council, while in truth, women frequently have the deciding voice through their power in the home. The complex and engaging character of Nasira, especially pulled me powerfully into the story. Without propagandising, Ms Hall elaborates a very thought-provoking idea. Life is much more interesting in a world enlivened by the interactions of men, and women of agency.
How Rhodri achieves his goals, meets the sister who didn’t know he existed, reclaims his birth-right and regains control of his memories make up the powerful second half of Book Two: Nomad.
The writing throughout is vivid and forceful; the plotting and world-building, top notch. The main characters, as well as, the secondary, are well-crafted and believable, and with the exception of the reprehensible Drusain, engaging and likeable. But every story needs a villain, so he might as well be an absolute bastard.
I read that this is Joanne Hall’s fifth published novel. On the basis of The Art of Forgetting: Nomad, I’d say she is just starting to get into her stride. I can’t wait for what comes next. 5*****

A brilliant follow up to Rider. Nomad really comes through and satisfies the reader with truly moving character arcs and Joanne Hall never holds back from giving each a shocking and sometimes terrifying twist.
You are never quite sure how to feel about Rhodi, his motivations and goals can be pure, but the means by which he attempts to achieve them are often questionable. He is grounded by family, but also haunted by it. Will he follow his 'father' and become a monstrous tyrant? Will he stay with his new family and learn to love life? Can he even do that without some tremendous act of violence? He doesn't think so.
This book pushes the reader to question whether the ends justify the means. As Rhodi's quest reaches its heights, you really feel for him, and fear for him.
A brilliant read.

Thoroughly enjoyed this book! just as much as the first one. What a brilliant conclusion to Rhodri's story. Again the depth of the character and her detailed world very much evident.

Joanne Hall's Art of Forgetting duology comes to a triumphant, if bloody, close with Nomad. When we last saw Rhodri, he had broken away from everything he knew and believed in to save a young Atrathene woman from the hands of his fellow soldiers. Having spent so long in Rider working out his own identity - and unable to forget any single part of it - Rhodri now has to forge himself anew. And this time he's taking the fight back to Hierath.
The major difference between Rider and Nomad is that where the former focused on Rhodri's internal dilemmas, Nomad places much more emphasis on a more physical, worldly battle. That's no bad thing, as it sees him coming to terms with who he has become, and that realisation gives the plot an added edge. Once Rhodri has defined himself and earned his place in the Atrathene tribe, that definition means he has set himself squarely against Hierath and his old family. And that means war.
Joanne Hall doesn't make life easy for her hero: Rhodri is embattled throughout the book, and the supporting characters also get their fair share of the suffering. Most importantly, they also fight Rhodri for their fair share of the reader's attention too - Nasira, her grandmother, Temion, and even Serren are well-drawn out, sympathetic characters. It's good to see returning characters from Rider too (though some, like Drusain, are less welcome...). There's even some nifty sorcery that never overwhelms the story, and tribal magic that allows Nasira to more than fight her own corner. The plot moves at a fair old crack, increasing the pace and tension alike until the climactic confrontation at Hierath simply *has* to be read at 3am else you're never going to get any sleep at all...
If you're looking for an epic story, The Art of Forgetting is well worth remembering. Enjoy.

I finally had some time to read with the Holidays and this book was first on my to-read list.
Believe me when I got to the end of the first book I was shaking my fists a bit at the cliff hangery type ending. I desperately wanted to know what happened to Rhodri and the woman that he rescued. I wasn't disappointed when I picked up Nomad, because the action picks up right where the first book left off. The action rarely lets up throughout the whole book. I kept waiting for pauses in the action to put the book down, but there wasn't. This resulted in surly children who got dinner late on a few nights.
What struck me about the book was the growth of the main character, Rhodri. In the first book, honestly, he was only kind of likeable. But in this book I really found that he grew more responsible and had more depth. The other aspect of the book I liked was the exploration of what it really means to be family and how there can many definitions than the traditional definition of family.
I highly recommend this book, but be warned carve out time to read it, because once you pick it up you won't want to put it down.

There was a great twist for the premise of this second book and now I understand the ending of the first. Even so, a part of me would still like the two lovers reunited. It turns out that Rhodri is not so much gay as confirmed bisexual and gets himself a wife and kids! I did not see marriage coming even though he had slept with women before.
This book borrows much from the native american culture and history which gave a great added dimension to the story. I found the leg irons hard to come to terms with and a hard scene to read. Lots of detail and atmosphere in this section though and more chances for Rhodri to grow and develop as a man.
It was good to see Rhodri sticking to his principles even when it was detrimental to him. He stayed true to himself to the end. I like that in a character. There were many twists and turns in this second book leading to the dramatic conclusion. It had a different feel to the first one, but that worked in the overall storyline. Surprising but still worth a read.

An excellent conclusion to Rhodri's story. Just as I did with the first book 'Rider', I raced through this book in a matter of days. It truly is 'un-put-downable'.
The chapters rattle through building and building to a satisfying conclusion. I think that if these books are ever re-printed, one large book would suit the story better and I'm glad I waited to read the two books together, one after another.
Rhodri's drive to have what is due to him is compelling. All the way through I wanted to tell him, just look at what you've already got - it's great.
Rhodri's wife Nasira is an excellent character. I think I might well have a patchcat wife myself! She is fantastic though - wise, loving, powerful and manipulative in all the right ways.
A great read. I look forward to reading Joanne Hall's next book 'Spark and Carousel'.

Enjoyed this was expecting a trilogy felt it seemed rushed little skirmish then over mountains for a stray march to castle of his sister then a little scuffle with dru could easily put a good middle book together including a good cliffhanger to lead up to final book

Life with the tribe seemed to drag at times, but I really enjoyed Rhodri's journey and his battles with his personal demons in becoming a great leader.
