Besonders spannend finde ich nach wie vor wie facettenreich die Charaktere sind, denn hier kommen so viele verschiedene Motive aufeinander, Gruppierungen mit unterschiedlichsten Interessen und trotzdem hat jeder mit jedem irgendwie zu tun, wodurch ein faszinierendes Netz gespannt wurde.

1.0
• Someone is actually called Fabio lmaoo
• I am at the age where I am very fucking annoyed with stupid teenagers in fantasy, Ciri please everyone wants to kill you be a bit more fucking careful
• The author managing to describe a woman extremely male-gazy from the literal POV of Cirila a child, a talent truly
• Wow the women slut-shaming for the clothes they wear Jesus, and being absolutely disgusting to each other awful.
• The fuck kind of important women obedience is Vilgeforz on about??
• I swear the word contempt is repeated so many times in this book. Like every second page, no I did not fucking forget the book is called Time Of Contempt you can fucking stop beating me over the head with it.
• Wow Ciris entire importance being bottled down to who she marries and her future sons and nothing about her at all is so stupid and sexist.
• The narrator singing is still the most awful thing.
• Oh wow love the "if you rape any women do it quietly" advice simply fucking love that
• This whole spiel about unicorns thinking it's suspicious for older women to be virgins and preferring young virgins is the most ridiculous sexist thing this book has thrown at me yet. Ofc it's female virgins only. Have male virgins ever been offered in sacrifice in any form of media in the world, I am genuinely asking?
• Why the fuck does Ciris crotch hurt?? Uhh I honestly don't want to go back and check anymore, I don't need to know.
• Rapefest in the last 20ish % of the book singlehandedly made this from 3 to 1 star.
So this is what happens in the end:
Spoiler
Ciri is captured by a band of I believe Nifgardian soldiers who threaten to rape her multiple times. She escapes and is rescued by a band of vigilantes. A boy from the band tries to rape her and is stopped by a girl that helped rescue her. And then that same girl proceeds to rape Ciri who finally "resigned" to being raped and even sleeps in the arms of the girl. The next day Ciri is so traumatised she tries to "wash away something that can never be washed away"(this specific part is giving me flashbacks to Mat being raped in Wot) but still she stays with this band. Oh and after that, we are also given a description of how the girl that raped Ciri was also sexually assaulted. Oh and Ciri is fucking 13 this entire fucking time.Like what the fuck??? What the actual fuck!??! Fuck this book, fuck this series, fuck Andrzej Sapkowski and everything he stands for I am fucking done. I will only watch the show and they can make it as fucking fanfiction and made up as they want I don't fucking care as long as there isn't a sexual assault every 5 min I will be fine.
Moderate: Infertility, Pedophilia, Rape, Sexism, Sexual assault, Sexual content, Sexual harassment, and Sexual violence
