 I don’t know what to think about this one. I loved the banter between Geralt’s group, frankly I think this one has the best dialogues throughout all the books so far, and I really felt the characters are well-developed and distinguished. On the other hand the action is very slow, sometimes feels sloppy and I was wondering where it’s really going. For me, there was not nearly enough of Yennefer (pls I need some magic and politics) and too much of Ciri being straight up annoying. I understand how important she is in the series and that she needs to get that ‘character development’ but it’s really scary what she’s capable of doing with her witcher training under influence of the wrong people. In this light I see Geralt’s journey not as a race to protect Ciri from being used by really powerful people (whether it’s Nilfgaard, any other kingdom or lodge of sorceresses) but a race against corruption of her character.

Dieser Teil der Hexerreihe fĂŒhrt fort, was die VorgĂ€nger schon so hervorragend erreichen und fĂŒhrt darĂŒber hinaus einige sehr bedeutsame Charaktere ein, die ich bereits aus den Videospielen kannte und nun besser verstehe.
Exakt 300 Seiten braucht es bis meine Lieblingscharakterin
Yennefer
endlich wieder auftauchte und trotzdem (oder gerade deshalb durch die Spannung) hat sich "Feuertaufe" so fesselnd und schnell gelesen. 
Bemerkswert ist auch das WeiterfĂŒhren der gleichgeschlechtlichen Liebesbeziehung
von Ciri
und die Betonung, dass nur Schwangere selbst entscheiden sollten, ob sie einen Schwangerschaftsabbruch durchfĂŒhren wollen (dies wurde bereits frĂŒher in der Reihe schon etabliert, kam hier aber noch intensiver vor).
Ich bin hin und weg von dieser Reihe!!!
