pickThe ending of this one is very satisfying (even though there is quite a bit left open for the next couple books). I‘d taken a big gap between this & the previous installment & it did take a bit to get re-orientated but then the pace picked up. Like the vampire, Geralt & Dandelion‘s banter (as always) I don‘t think the series does well at keeping the pacing evened for each character since the short stories.
Enjoying the sun with my kiddos and nephew. Its supposed to be 80 this weekend, which is not normal for where i am. Lol but we will take it!
Excited to be getting into the Witcher series 😍
pickI liked it. Especially Ciri‘s parts. But I have issues with the structure of these books, Main Characters on the sidelines that disappear halfway through the book? Dialogue that has paragraph breaks at inappropriate times so you can‘t tell who is talking? Cliffhangers? Come on.
The action made up for my struggle, & I have the next book so I guess I‘ll survive a cliffhanger ending.
pickEven by Sapkowski's standards, this book is hella confusing. It has multiple frame narratives, shifts in perspective, and covers a wide range of characters and events. Sapkowski loves to run the plot beyond the most satisfying, cathartic moment. Still, it's impossible not to love Geralt, Ciri, and Yennifer.
1. The tagged book, which is the 1st in The Witcher series.
2. If you go on just reading continuously, I‘ve done a 48hr Dewey‘s Readathon a few times. If it‘s just one book, it took me 22hrs to read the last book of The Wheel Of Time, A Memory Of Light, when it was first released.
3. My children, my grandchildren, my husband. Then my library!
