Should be named time of stress. Everything goes wrong. Ciri meets the great hunt, and Yen saves her. Geralt, and Yen reunite, and start their relationship again. The winged knight attacks Ciri and she beats him, but steps through a portal and poof. Geralt is seriously injured. Ciri almost dies, but a freaking unicorn saves her. Yen disappears, and ciri teams up with the rats.

Wie immer: Unglaublich gute Fantasy und die Story ist fesselnd.
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.
