A lovely book at a slower pace than the previous witcher books that almost solely focuses on building up characters and relationships, a lovely breathe of fresh air in the middle of the series, but not without some emotional moments.

5.0

Dieser Teil der Hexerreihe führt fort, was die Vorgänger schon so hervorragend erreichen und führt darüber hinaus einige sehr bedeutsame Charaktere ein, die ich bereits aus den Videospielen kannte und nun besser verstehe.
Exakt 300 Seiten braucht es bis meine Lieblingscharakterin

Yennefer

endlich wieder auftauchte und trotzdem (oder gerade deshalb durch die Spannung) hat sich "Feuertaufe" so fesselnd und schnell gelesen. 
Bemerkswert ist auch das Weiterführen der gleichgeschlechtlichen Liebesbeziehung

von Ciri

und die Betonung, dass nur Schwangere selbst entscheiden sollten, ob sie einen Schwangerschaftsabbruch durchführen wollen (dies wurde bereits früher in der Reihe schon etabliert, kam hier aber noch intensiver vor).
Ich bin hin und weg von dieser Reihe!!!

The best book in the series thus far. A fun adventure with a weird discussion on abortion towards the end? Still unsure if I should recommend the series
