The going gets tough

In this new part of the Witcher saga, the story becomes more and more dramatic and rhythmic than in previous volumes, this time we are dealing with a volume where the character of Ciri covers the majority of the story; much Geralt - witcher and hero of this series. While this may offend some readers, this strategy Sapkowski enriches the diversity of perspectives of his characters and his universe, which was not the case in the first two volumes devoted exclusively to Geralt.

This volume is also interesting because it tells us several dramatic ironies that the other characters - Geralt notamment- ignore and that will only be revealed to all in the following volumes.

Among the chapters I read, I enjoyed the exploits of Ciri in the city along the tour Thanned but also those taking place in a desert after a crucial moment in history. I will not reveal more details of this volume. But reading this book encourages me to continue the further adventures of Geralt the Witcher.
