5 stars - It was amazing
I think that this book was a perfect follow on from Baptism of Fire (which, so far, is my favourite book in the series - so the expectations were high).
In past books, I really did not enjoy following Ciri as much as Geralt. I thought that her chapters were really slow moving and kinda boring. But this book has completely changed my mind! I just devoured Ciri's chapters in this book. Learning her story was so sad, yet so intriguing.
I also enjoyed Geralt and Yennefer's chapters just as much as I did in previous books. There was more action, more politics, and more monster fighting. I loved it.
I feel like all the threads are starting to come together in this book, and I'm really happy to see where this series is ending up.
I have high hopes for the final book Lady of the Lake!

No atrapa tanto como la parte anterior, pero sigue teniendo esos momentos de sutileza que te dejan impactado. Como penúltimo libro en la saga, hace bien su trabajo de mover todas las fichas para un final.

یه ترسی دارم ازش که قبلاً فصل پنجم game of thrones هم تجربهش کرده بودم و اون هم اینه داستان به قدری پرداخته شده و جزئیات زیادی داره که نویسنده آخرش نمیتونه به شکل خوبی تمومش کنه. امیدوارم تو این مورد اشتباه کنم.

La Torre de la Golondrina me encantó! Este libro siento que es una mejora con respecto a su antecesor, Bautismo de Fuego que me había parecido muy lento y poco emocionante. En este libro por fin se empiezan a dar revelaciones a varios misterios.
Es verdad que Geralt pierde mucho protagonismo en la segunda mitad del libro pero, aunque veo que muchos aquí se quejan de eso, no me parece algo malo. Desde el título del libro es evidente que la historia se centra más en Ciri pues aunque la saga inicia con Geralt de Rivia podemos estar todos de acuerdo en que Ciri es también una protagonista principal junto con el.
Toda la secuencia del último capítulo en el lago de hielo fue muy emocionante, no diré más para no hacer spoilers pero fue narrada maravillosamente. Quedé con altas expectativas para el siguiente libro que dará final a la saga del brujo.

I did not think this book was amazing by any stretch of imagination though . It felt like it didn’t know what it wanted to do or what it wanted to continue. This was a mediocre book. It had it’s moments but I felt like the book tried to hard. With its fake outs. The plot meandered the POV was to many. Than the ending was crazy. Overall this just felt mediocre at best in what seems to be good immersive universe. I hope in Lady of the Lake. Everything is resolved and nothing is left unresolved.
