The Lady of the Lake
by Andrzej Sapkowski
I am getting close to finishing all the Witcher books and my heart can’t take it. Lady of the Lake by Andrzej Sapkowski is the fifth book in the Witcher Series.
IF YOU HAVE NOT READ THE SERIES, POSSIBLE SPOILERS AHEAD!
The last book in the series ends with Ciri walking through the portal of the Tower of Swallows. When she crosses through the portal she ends up in the Elven World. They make it possible for her to escape but she needs to get back to her own time. She needs to get back to Yennefer and Geralt. Geralt has not stopped his search for Ciri. He and his company discover that Yennefer has been taken prisoner. The walls seem to close in around them as they find more trouble than they bargained for…
God, I love this series. My heart is currently shattered but I love it all the same. This series is utterly addicting with constant action. My favorite aspect of this series is that it is not limited to one time. I love the portals, I love how it connects the universe. It even connects to a world that many of us are very familiar with.
The next best aspect is the characters. Goodness, Ciri is just marvelous. I love how the story is not just focused on Geralt (even though he is fantastic) but I love how Ciri looks up to him as a father. He taught her everything she knows and at times, little lessons help her through the most desperate times. However, it is Ciri’s own strength that sees her through. I must say, though, I love Geralt’s crew. They brought me so much joy while reading.
Then there is just the descriptions in general. The sword-fighting and battles are so descriptive. The sword-fighting scenes feel like a dance. When I read these scenes, I have a very clear picture in my head of the entire battle.
Now I must say, that the ending crushed me. I cried. I cried so much. But this book will receive nothing less than 5 out of 5 stars from me.
