Absolutely fantastic book! Every plot was intriguing, Ciri’s and Yennefer’s the most. I can’t wait to read what happens next :)

She got dark! I really wish I could just forget about all mentions of sexuality in these books because it’s always right on the edge of being heinous. Ciri’s story in this book was so dark and violent and messed up and it was so good! Geralt’s part was kind of boring, and Yennefer felt kind of tossed in. The score raised so much from
the Ciri portions. I also don’t know what caused the author to jump around in the timeline so much. He has some weird obsession with jumping ahead in the story and then having some character recount what happened in the meantime. I feel like this did throw a lot of curveballs in this one - quite disorienting. But yeah, this is a good book if you wanna watch a teen girl get absolutely wrecked but then rise above while her adoptive parents flail about trying to find her with little success.

Sin decepción, siempre dejándome con ganas de saber si es demasiado tarde o no para los personajes, si todavía hay esperanza o es mejor guardar un minuto de silencio. Así como en El Último Deseo, siento que la obra es una atemporalidad que fascina.
Ya, dejando la poesía infumable de lado, realmente vale la pena leer cada página si se disfruta de la narración relativamente poética que hay en la obra.

I liked it a little less than the prior one because of the greater amount of power fantasy in this one. Still a top notch book.

I definitely had a bit of a tough time with this one.
In total this took around 10 months to read from start to finish, some of this was me completely forgetting about it but honestly most of it was just me spending hours trawling through it.
I liked that this story followed more of Ciri's story and everything that she'd been through, but honestly I just want to be reading about Geralt and his little entourage in the forest.
Sapkowski's writing style is a review within itself, it's good when it's good but when it's not good it's tough. I love the world he's created and the characters but sometimes it can be a chore.
Obviously I will be finishing the series as I've got this far but it's a shame that I won't be looking forward to tackling the next book as much as I'd like to be.
