Besides the short story collections, this is the best book in the series so far. The characters are all interesting and distinct, Regis and Milva being the most compelling. Geralt also shows more complexity in this novel compared to the previous ones. The disturbing post-battle scenes are well-done. Lots of great imagery and scenes that I'm still thinking about, especially bodies hanging from trees; the night sky glowing from burning villages; the battle on the bridge over the Yaruga River; and Geralt getting his knighthood, becoming Geralt of Rivia .

The weakest Witcher book so far, but that’s not to say it’s a bad book. The book spent too much time on side characters Zoltan, Milva, and even Regis for my liking. I wanted more of the main trio + Dandelion. On a similar note, the plot really dragged in parts. Geralt journeyed forever, Ciri became a bloodthirsty highwayman in the few pages she did get, and Yennefer just kinda hugged and puffed.

Loved the fun moments in this book. It's been so cool to see some more depth to Geralt's character and development.
