 I am a bit conflicted about this book as while I think the way it is set out with non-linear storytelling that tells the reader exactly what they need to know exactly when it becomes relevant is very impressive I did not enjoy some of the actual content that much.

I watched the first season of the witcher a while ago and it was interesting seeing the differences - in particular the fairy-tale influences the show omitted. Reading a revenge story featuring aspects of both Rapunzel and Snow White was certainly an experience! I also thought Sapkowski incorporated such topics as colonialism in an interesting way but it was a bit too dark for me and everyone seemed to constantly be thinking about sex which is not something I prefer in books (although I should have seen it coming so that is definitely on me!). 

I can see why people like this and it is well constructed but not to my tastes.
