I feel like it was not bad but not exceptional, besides being very slow, it was particularly full of politics that could have been made less lengthy.. I'm really intrigued about what's going to happen next so i will keep reading, but again some stuff it's waaay too long..

The writing style is interesting. A lot of the action happens on the periphery of the narrative. That makes the world feel very alive. A lot happens away from the main characters. But that also makes it very complicated and difficult to keep track of what’s happening. The cast of characters is also very large, so keeping everyone straight can be tough. The plot is interesting and the characters are cool. I definitely want to know what happens next.

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.
