Lady of the Lake by Andrzej Sapkowski
3.0
A good read but not as good as the previous books in the series for me (my favourite of the series is 'The Last Wish').
The story is bookended with Ciri retelling her story to Sir Gallahad, of Arthurian legend fame (hence the title of the book). It was great to return to the characters and follow them to the end of the series, although I did think that it did go on a bit too long.
As much as I enjoyed the book, my main beef is that there seemed to be so many different POVs throughout, mostly focusing on the many sides and factions of the war that reigns over the kingdoms and its conclusion, that the story of Ciri, Geralt and his companions was relegated to a side story. This felt a bit confusing and made me lose the thread of the story a bit during these POVs, only really seeming to get back on track once the main cast of characters returned to the fore.
I listened to the audiobook, and once again the performance by Peter Kenny is simply superb! His narration and vocalisations of the characters really bring the world and peoples of The Witcher to vivid life! Really recommend listening to the audiobook version!
