The narrator is amazing. I'm so glad Peter Kenny narrates the entire series, it'll definitely make the rest of the series even more fun. Not that reading about murder, war, betrayal, and rape is fun, but you get what I mean. The nasty parts of this turned my stomach, and I felt so many emotions it gave me whiplash,  but I couldn't help but hope.

This one dragged for the first half. It picked up a bit in the second half, but it’s moved away from Geralt and monster-hunting and into more political intrigue. I’m excited to see what happens next for Ciri. I do think the SA scene was completely unnecessary and poorly handled.

At the end Ciri very nearly gets raped, is saved, then immediately gets non-consensual lesbian violated. And then Ciri is apparently totally fine when she wakes up.
