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.

Sapkowski walked so George R.R. Martin could run. If you've not read the previous Witcher books you'll be lost as hell, but if so, you'll likely bloody love it. Closest thing I can describe it as is Apocalypse Now with swords.
