The Tower of Swallows
by Andrzej Sapkowski
I decided to wait to read The Tower of Swallows by Andrzej Sapkowski because I was going through the series too fast. I wanted to be able to enjoy it a bit more. This is the 4th book in the series, which means I am almost done. Once again, Geralt joined with Milva, Regis, Cahir, and Dandelion, who are still in search of Ciri. They know about the fake Ciri who is intended to marry the Nilfgaard emperor. However, there is no other evidence that the real Ciri is alive. She was last with a group of bandits who made a name for themselves. Even still, her enemies are gathering. The only place that may help is the tower of swallows.
This installment picks up right where book 3 left. That is the bittersweet aspect of the books, yes, they end abruptly, but the beginning always dives right into the story. I absolutely fell in love with this series since the very first book. While I loved this book. This one does jump around more than the previous books. In the beginning, this creates a relatively slow pace but the tension really builds up throughout with a pretty epic conclusion. (Don’t worry, I won’t give spoilers.)
I hated Mistle and the Rats group. Yes, they took care of Ciri in a way, but they also took advantage of her. However, I do love that Ciri does get a taste of freedom. She has seen and experienced so much hardship and heartache. Her character development is phenomenal and it is the main focus of this book.
Geralt, Milva, Cahir, Regis, and Dandelion are still together and I want them all to be my best friends. They are not close to perfect but they all compliment each other. They are a team and I know this will probably end badly but I am totally okay with them always being together fighting injustice. I really can’t wait until the show catches up with this part of the story.
I rate this book 4 out of 5 stars! I will hopefully get to read the next book, Lady of the Lake next month.
