The Tower of Swallows by Andrzej Sapkowski

adventurous dark funny mysterious tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.5

The penultimate novel of the series does a lot to start tying in a lot of the questions and mysteries made by the other books. The story is still great like the previous novels. My only issue comes from the group Tawny Owl has working for him. They are fairly present in the story with a lot of dialogue but they all feel pretty forgettable which is rare in these books. I feel Sapkowski does a great job at making characters memorable and feel different. He also will not overburden the reader with unnecessary information about a character that has little importance to the overall story. But as I was reading the scenes with that group, I had trouble differentiating them in my head.
