A review by steffi_au_penguinbooks
Die Zeit der Verachtung by Andrzej Sapkowski

4.0

'I decided it would be wiser to follow the voice of good sense.

Well, I've read very mixed opinions about the second installment of the Witcher/Hexer books.

First of all, I did like the story. A lot. The suspense was very high up this very awful moment. The changing POV's did match at some parts, so that you could follow what every important characters in this book was planning or doing.

The relationship between Geralt, Yenner and Ciri was too sad. They had very few moments, however, you could already see the relationship between these three.

What I did not like was the ending. I felt like all men in this book are rapists, not caring at all how old the woman are. Even Ciri's ... change at the end ... well it caught me off guard ^^'
Thus, I missed some characters at the end .. idk what happened to some of them at all ....

the story itself deserves 4.5 stars, but I only give 4 because of the negative aspects.

4 stars
