Probably the darkest Witcher story I've encountered so far. Vanesa Del Rey's art is gorgeous, yet horrifying.

Just what I was in the mood for to read in one sitting. The beginning was a little rocky but overall I did enjoy the story. Not a big fan of the artwork though, at times it was just messy. Some pages felt like unfinished work and was filled in with a lot of black & blue colors.

Ehhh, yea, no. Would not recommend it I'd say, but it wasn't totally horrible.
Storytelling was a bit over the place, plot was predictable from the get go, the art was at times incomprehensible.

I didn't really enjoy the story, but honestly, I hated the art, I could barely see what's happening.

Note: I received a copy of this book for free from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. Don't come at me FTC.
Witch's Lament has a change in art style from previous books that looks chunky, aggressive, and scratched into the pages. It's rough and has a little less detail but it does a great job at conveying the nightmarish mood of the story and leaves room for your imagination to find more horror within it. It's very effective at conveying Geralt's state of mind throughout the story and the panel work is excellent at shepherding your eyes along the page. The story itself is worthy of sitting in the Witcher canon and I won't spoil any of it.

my least favorite comic volume from the entire series. the art is dark and incredibly messy; very unappealing to me. the story is a tad messy as well and personally was just not my favorite.

Don't know how to feel about this. Leaning towards I didn't like it. It tried to grapple with some pretty big and serious topics but I'm not sure it did it well.
