The third book of the Witcher Saga progressed the story in a much more relaxed way than the previous books. Indeed, there is no major plot progression concerning the main characters (Geralt, Ciri, and Yennefer). Instead of plot progression though, the readers were offered a diverse and lovable side characters like Milva, Zoltan, Cahir and Regis.

Personally I enjoy the change of pace. However, I can’t give it a higher rating because the author kept throwing names of places which when coupled with his insistence on not releasing an official map, make reading certain parts taxing and tedious.

Felt like this was trying to say something about sexual violence towards women but felt more like it was targeted for men to understand and empathize with rather than for women and victims of sexual assault to feel seen by

Also a weird pro-life argument that evades consequences by having it end in a tragic miscarriage

The best begrudgingly-found-family!
Or 300 hundred pages of Geralt being brooding I-don't-need-anyone man:tm: and being constantly called out on that

This was probably my favourite of these books so far. A well-paced story that is moving forward after seeming to meander in the last couple of instalments in this series...
