For me the book was both gripping and also slightly too slow in places. I liked how the book highlighted the issues between both humans and witchers, as well as how the book progressed throughout with that. However, I just felt the book was a bit too slow through the mid section. I liked the mystery the plot had and the working out the mystery, I just think it was a bit drawn out. The ending also seemed a bit abrupt for me and quick but I did like the twists and how the book ended. I also liked how the issues that the mc went through were brought up and dealt with through the story which made me feel for her.
