Andrzej Sapkowski's Witcher series has become a fantasy phenomenon, finding millions of fans worldwide and inspiring the hit Netflix show and video games. Now the bestselling author introduces readers to a beloved new hero on an epic journey in The Tower of Fools, the first book of the Hussite Trilogy."A ripping yarn delivered with world-weary wit, bursting at the seams with sex, death, magic and madness." -- Joe Abercrombie"This is historical fantasy done right." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review)"A fantastic novel that any fan of The Witcher will instantly appreciate." --The GamerReinmar of Bielawa, sometimes known as Reynevan, is a healer, a magician, and according to some, a charlatan. When a thoughtless indiscretion forces him to flee his home, he finds himself pursuednot only by brothers bent on vengeance but by the Holy Inquisition. In a time when tensions between Hussite and Catholic countries are threatening to turn into war and mystical forces are gathering in the shadows, Reynevan's journey will lead him to the Narrenturm -- the Tower of Fools. The Tower is an asylum for the mad...or for those who dare to think differently and challenge the prevailing order. And escaping it, avoiding the conflict around him, and keeping his own sanity will prove more difficult than he ever imagined Also by Andrzej Sapkowski: Witcher collectionsThe Last WishSword of DestinyWitcher novelsBlood of ElvesThe Time of ContemptBaptism of FireThe Tower of SwallowsLady of the LakeSeason of StormsThe Malady and Other Stories: An Andrzej Sapkowski Sampler (e-only) Translated by David French

I really enjoyed this historical fantasy, especially as it had plenty of wry humour.

#Sapkowski's beginning to a new #trilogy, to be put quite frankly, was rather dull.
Though it was well written, with era appropriate references and conversations with suggestions that humanity's history once contained magic and creatures. As well as other dimensions alongside hell.
The #friendship, the unbreakable bond between three men was refreshing to read, with one always falling into trouble. Unfortunately, the story didn't pull through.

Finished...finally finished The Tower of Fools
I really struggled getting through this, and then I started getting cluster headaches whenever I read a few pages, alas slowing my progress, looks like reading glasses is in my future.
However, now I can sleep happily whilst I reflect on my feelings towards this book.
Review will be up tomorrow! But how many ⭐ will I give it? Hmmm

Littlewolf1 I realized the same thing recently, now I‘m just waiting for my glasses to come in 3y
The_Whimsical_Bookdragon @Littlewolf1 I've needed glasses since secondary school...lost my first pair in an English exam..go figure 😅 my daughter broke my last pair, but they were weak strength, I think I need something stronger 😢 3y

"Friendship is a great and beautiful thing!" Scharley Pg.292

I'm really struggling to get through this book, but I'm a stubborn book dragon ? it's refreshing to read a book that focuses on the friendship of three men getting into trouble ?

I'm really struggling with this book, has anyone else read it? Is it worth venturing past chapter 9?

With only one course left for my certificate I‘m hoping to get back to reading for pleasure a bit more. I‘ve decided that this is the first read for 2021 and am loving it.

It‘s listed as Fantasy but definitely set in a real historical period.
