Note: I received a copy of this book for free from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. Don't come at me FTC.
Witch's Lament has a change in art style from previous books that looks chunky, aggressive, and scratched into the pages. It's rough and has a little less detail but it does a great job at conveying the nightmarish mood of the story and leaves room for your imagination to find more horror within it. It's very effective at conveying Geralt's state of mind throughout the story and the panel work is excellent at shepherding your eyes along the page. The story itself is worthy of sitting in the Witcher canon and I won't spoil any of it.

my least favorite comic volume from the entire series. the art is dark and incredibly messy; very unappealing to me. the story is a tad messy as well and personally was just not my favorite.

Don't know how to feel about this. Leaning towards I didn't like it. It tried to grapple with some pretty big and serious topics but I'm not sure it did it well.

Okay, I've never read or watched anything Witcher, I only know what I've read about it, but this story seems to fit the world well. Geralt has some feelings, and he's not down with that. There's a lot of death and vengeance going on, and dark undercurrents, overcurrents...there's just dark currents everywhere. The art is messy, dark, and chaotic, and I didn't like it, but it did suit the story very well; it's a good story, but it's a story about misogyny, and I can't say I like that. At any rate, this seems a good story for the world it was set in.
