4.0
Graphic: Violence
Moderate: Blood, Gore, Sexual content, Sexism, Grief, Death, and Misogyny
Minor: Death of parent, Infertility, and Xenophobia
Similar impressions as to The Last Wish: the medieval fantasyland hangs together as a whole, in terms of worldbuilding, and the adventures follow in a compelling pace with twists and quirks. But really did we have to have this level of misogyny? Even if it is a counterpoint to Geralt’s outlook? Hmm.
