Welcome to Litsy!

This is another book club choice. It‘s a quick, fun read 🙂

I read and listened to this one. I got a bit confused switching time periods but loved the adventure and the wit. Since this was translated from Polish I can‘t help but wonder how many jokes I missed that just don‘t translate into English, my guess would be a fair amount.

Excited to be getting into the Witcher series 😍

I liked it. Especially Ciri‘s parts. But I have issues with the structure of these books, Main Characters on the sidelines that disappear halfway through the book? Dialogue that has paragraph breaks at inappropriate times so you can‘t tell who is talking? Cliffhangers? Come on.
The action made up for my struggle, & I have the next book so I guess I‘ll survive a cliffhanger ending.

“It lived only to kill.”

Even by Sapkowski's standards, this book is hella confusing. It has multiple frame narratives, shifts in perspective, and covers a wide range of characters and events. Sapkowski loves to run the plot beyond the most satisfying, cathartic moment. Still, it's impossible not to love Geralt, Ciri, and Yennifer.

1. The tagged book, which is the 1st in The Witcher series.
2. If you go on just reading continuously, I‘ve done a 48hr Dewey‘s Readathon a few times. If it‘s just one book, it took me 22hrs to read the last book of The Wheel Of Time, A Memory Of Light, when it was first released.
3. My children, my grandchildren, my husband. Then my library!
