A step down from the masterpieces that were The Last Wish and Sword of Destiny, but still great.

While a great novel it can be jarring when read following the first two Witcher books in the series as it is the first not be comprised of short stories

I think this book would have been better if the POVs had stuck mostly to Ciri and Geralt. I'm not sure why Tris was a main POV character for half the book. The pacing was a bit disjointed, so I found it difficult to keep reading at times. Still, love the characters and the world, and I'm scared to read the next one *cries*

crialpaca's review against another edition

challenging informative reflective tense slow-paced

2.75

So little felt resolved or consequential in this book, due to its jumpiness, and the hours upon hours of political discussion (I think this measured out to about 30% of the book). There were tidbits that I knew were important due to having watched the show and looking into the world beforehand, but my interest started to peter out at about 50%. I might take a look at a physical copy to see if it's formatted on a way that makes more sense (but I doubt it will be). I'm still planning to try the rest of the series at this point.
