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.

I loved the narrator for this audiobook! His monster voices, accents, and pacing was top tier. I also love that Dandelion was misspelt as Dandilion, which is such a great way to say his name.
Overall, I was super impressed with the author’s ability to take a well known folk tale or fairy tale and turn it on its end without being overt about it. The nods to fairy tales felt fun! (And are even made fun of in the book). For a darker fantasy world with darker themes, this book is surprisingly funny! If you’re expecting GoT, this series is not that and in a really good way. Can’t wait to get into the rest of the series!!
