If you did the ice shrine thing and you forgot the book there, is there a way to go back and recover it?

Upon completion of the Knothole Island Quest Line, you will have the option to control the weather in Knothole Island to whatever your heart's desire. So no book is never truly lost, and you can re-explore every crevice missed.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
