Baptism of Fire
by Andrzej Sapkowski
Baptism of Fire by Andrzej Sapkowski is the third book in the Witcher Series (or the 5th, if you count the intro and tales.) This book picks up with the aftermath of the fall of the Wizards Guild. Geralt is injured pretty severely and Ciri is still missing. However, kings are plotting. They say they have Ciri. However, she is still among the Rats and her power grows. Geralt will stop at nothing to find Ciri, even if that means tracking through Nilfgaard. War is all around and trust is rare. Geralt can’t journey alone, he meets Milva and of course, Dandelion is always there. Danger is always looming, creatures are all around, but who are the real monsters?
This is another phenomenal installment in the series. While not much happens with the plot, the book is still utterly entertaining. Moody Geralt might be annoying to some but I really enjoyed it. He has always been so sure about being able to fight and protect those around him, but now his abilities are limited. So his frustration is understandable. Dandelion making fun of him made for some hilarious moments. However, my favorite part of this book is Milva. She is a fierce archer who is not afraid to call anyone out. She is an excellent addition to the group. So basically, the plot continues slowly, but the character development is on point.
The concept of who is truly a monster comes up again in this book. We meet Regis, a barber-surgeon, who also happens to be a vampire. Those around him must decide if he is trustworthy. Is he evil, just because he is a vampire? Geralt has to even confront his prejudices.
Another fantastic addition to this series and totally worth 5 out of 5 stars. Ok, now that you are done reading this, you can go back to watching the Witcher. Let me know what you think!
