Reviews

I had to sit with this for a bit before determining my feelings. The Witcher series is bogged down with history and politics presented in discordant perspectives imo and hampered by Sapkowski's long chapters. The overall story is an interesting concept that I can appreciate though I prefer character driven stories over the amalgamation of the Witcher. I seem pretty negative but overall it is a good book and I do think I'd recommend it.(Having only a Nintendo Switch, I looked up how the games tied themselves into the books since they take place afterwards and, while the games are not officially cannon, I've decided they are because I'm not okay with the ending otherwise

Not a fan of how Sapkowski write women. Literally all of those with any but of strength and power are cold and bury their emotions.The story though? Yes, good.
