Maybe I am being generous with the 4 stars but The Tower of Swallows is maybe the best of the Saga so far. Maybe because of Ciri's character development... I am here for Ciri gaining her independence and owning it. There is a bit more development in Yennefer's character as well. This I liked because she is obviously important but very little time has been spent on her thus far. Two more books left so I am curious to see what my final verdict is.

Mam wrażenie że Sapkowskiemu, piszącemu książkę w której nic się nie dzieje, a czyny prawie wszystkich bohaterów nie mają wpływu na ostateczną sytuację, udaje się dalej opowiedzieć historię o wielu rzeczach.
Czuję, że im bardziej czytam tym bardziej wiem czemu mi nie leży adaptacja serialowa, wiedźmin to w małym stopniu historia o zabijaczu potworów, bardziej o politycznych intrygach, na szczeblu głów państw, jak i drobnych rzezimieszków. Najgorszymi potworami stałe są ludzie, którzy nie powstrzymują się przed niczym.
