Glad that I mostly read ebook. I couldn't hold a big chunkster at the moment.
It's just a cut, no stitches, so don't worry. Happened while I wanted to drill a hole at the top of the new rain barrel

Many familiar moments from season 2 of the Netflix series. The first 1/2 is season 2. Things were gained and lost in the adaptation. And the book had less Yennefer but This is a positive example of men writing women, her bosom doesn‘t heave verily, she smells like lilac and gooseberries. A fun read, but the ending is in no man‘s land.

I don‘t like the cover for this one, so here is a muddy pup instead!

I‘m glad I revisited this book before reading the others (the only one of the series I have read aside from the anthologies) as I apparently remembered very little! I find some of the characters, Tris and Yennefer in particular, to be a bit unlikeable still. But hopefully as the series progresses this will pass 🤣

This is another one from last year.

I think I may have said this during my other Witcher reviews but I'm gonna say it again! These books are epic, on level with Wheel of Time of Lord of the Rings in my opinion. I am obsessed!

Got my #bookspinbingo with the tagged. I‘m no fan of the Witcher books. Geralt and Yennefer seem like Gary Sues &Mary Sues, respectively, and if there‘s humor, it‘s lost on me. The plot seems like Standard Fantasy no. 1 too, with a Chosen One who‘s troubled and even more Mary Sue than Yennefer. But: it‘s finished at least. ⭐️⭐️

Addison_Reads I tried the books, but they weren't really for me either. I absolutely love the video games though. I haven't tried the Netflix series yet. 2y

A bit slower paced than I was expecting, though still full of action and magic. I loved the character-focused sections, particularly the chapter where we get to see Ciri and Yen‘s relationship blossom.

I liked the parts where Ciri is training with Geralt as a Witcher and then Yennefer as a magician. But there are also long political discussions that get tedious. It is still especially frustrating that there is no MAP. Most good fantasy stories at least have a map to keep track of all these places they‘re talking about. Nope. All the names get overwhelming, too, so I don‘t really keep track…perhaps it‘ll all come together as the series goes on.

I can‘t say that I loved this as much as the two story collections that came before it, but it was still enjoyable. I liked the sections where Geralt and Ciri were together more so than the parts that got political.

A bit slow and perhaps not well-paced, but overall still a good read. I have heard that this is supposed to be the first full book he wrote? And I would believe that. The politics in particular were boring, and the training sections do sort of run together without much to break them up, but characters are developed, and the middle section of this book is genuinely very engaging, and illuminates Geralt's morality and themes of the series very well.

ssleif I'm recommending it, but with the caveat that it's not a good entry into the series, the short stories are better, and that I would not have been motivated to get to the good parts if I wasn't just motivated to consume it all because I like the characters and want to learn about the world. 3y
ssleif Also, even though the show seems to have skipped through the majority of the events of this book, I hope that they slow down in the next season and do choose to adapt that middle section I was talking about from this book. Which they seem to have skipped. #witcher 3y

After playing the video game, reading the comic, and watching the show, I finally started the original Witcher books--at least the audiobook. The world building in Blood of Elves is great but it's a bit slow. Sapkowski has a fondness for conversations among big groups. There are some solid character moments and two compelling fight scenes but perhaps too much exposition.

I did not love this as much as the first book/story collection, but it was still pretty good. I might like the show best of all though?? I‘m sure it has nothing to do with Henry Cavill being all growly and mysterious 😆

Traci1 I love the show, but listening to Henry's Geralt voice makes my throat hurt. 3y

Finished reading this book today and I have more questions than answers. There were a lot of character introductions and world building but not too much of a plot. However, I am intrigued to find out what will happen to Ciri that I'll give the next book a chance. Now, I am to watch the series. 3⭐

I figured I‘d give this series one more try, and I‘ve officially confirmed it‘s not for me. I like Ciri, but I‘m not invested in the wider conflict, I find the worldbuilding pretty infodumpy, and the humour doesn‘t land for me. I CAN see how I might get attached to the characters across multiple books, but I don‘t want to spend any more time discovering if that‘s the case.

Wasn't sure how I'd take to a full novel after the two collections of shorter stories. But this one gave more scope to the whole, got to see more of the major characters i love (game wise) and the different circles, of royalty and such playing at their own games. Plus seeing Geralt's character in a more rounded way, thanks to more POVs

I'm sad that this one was in my tbr pile so long before I read it. I really enjoyed the TV show so I was hesitant to pick up the book. I loved it! I feel like the TV show gave me more background and that enriched the book. I look forward to the further adventures of Gerald, Ciri and Yennifer.

Finally found some time to finish my third witcher novel after forgetting about it for nearly a year. I‘m glad I picked it up again, as i immensely enjoy all those little modern twists on the classical fantasy motivs. Feminist fantasy written by a man is possible, and here‘s proof - even though apparently in the game you get to collect pokemon cards for every woman gerald takes to bed 🙈
