This book makes it feel like Ciri just exists so the author can mention her underage private parts hurting or feeling pleasure. Her virginity comes up often and, towards the end of the book, is placed in peril several times in a row during a deluge of r*pe related plot. Idk what happened. The other books have been mild to medium cringe with the women characters. This one feels like extra creepy and uncomfortable.

this is definitely my favorite one so far, but I wish there was more written about geralt & ciri’s relationship. I know these characters so well because of the show & what I know about the game, but I feel that their relationship isn’t very fleshed out in what I’ve read so far, even though it’s obvious they care for each other and are a family (including yennefer. yen & geralt’s and yen & ciri’s relationships are clearly defined and have been a focus so far, but I don’t feel the same has happened for geralt & ciri.) perhaps I’ve missed it but I just find it a bit odd. hopefully there’s more with those two in particular in the following books. I still loved this though 

also… why there isn’t a single map in any of these books is BEYOND me. smh

I feel like it was not bad but not exceptional, besides being very slow, it was particularly full of politics that could have been made less lengthy.. I'm really intrigued about what's going to happen next so i will keep reading, but again some stuff it's waaay too long..
