pickA bit slow and perhaps not well-paced, but overall still a good read. I have heard that this is supposed to be the first full book he wrote? And I would believe that. The politics in particular were boring, and the training sections do sort of run together without much to break them up, but characters are developed, and the middle section of this book is genuinely very engaging, and illuminates Geralt's morality and themes of the series very well.
ssleif I'm recommending it, but with the caveat that it's not a good entry into the series, the short stories are better, and that I would not have been motivated to get to the good parts if I wasn't just motivated to consume it all because I like the characters and want to learn about the world. 3y
ssleif Also, even though the show seems to have skipped through the majority of the events of this book, I hope that they slow down in the next season and do choose to adapt that middle section I was talking about from this book. Which they seem to have skipped. #witcher 3y
