This wasn't the best book of the series to get back into after a 5+ year hiatus! I wish I had read them all at the same time.
Tower of Swallows is a bit choppy and doesn't cover a lot of interesting stuff. It felt like a filler prepping for the final acts.

Интересен стил на писане. Иронично за мен, вещерът е най-скучният типаж, а сюжетната му линия напълно излишна. Книгата беше бавна и много често скучно. Повечето персонажи са безинтересни и плоски.
This series continues to baffle and confuse me. It is difficult to tell what is happening when and why it is happening. I have lost all ideas of the purpose of this series and it is so far off from what I expected. While there are moments of joy and entertainment, this series has been frustrating overall. Perhaps the final book will help tie everything together.

I stand by the opinion that Hanza is the best found family there is.
Perfection.
Sixth or so reread, and I still love it

Another great book to listen to. I enjoyed the variance in timelines. At times, it could get confusing as to where the setting is in relation to the big three (Geralt, Yennefer, and Ciri). Sapkowski writes from an outsider's point of view a lot of the time. In a story where the uniqueness of character names can be difficult to follow, I found that the introduction of an outsider made me scramble to understand the plot. However, once I got used to this kind of writing style, I found that Sapkowski's writing submerges you in a world full of violence, courage, and suspense. I would recommend listening to Peter Kenny narrate, at least just once in your life. You won't be disappointed. Off to the next!
