The Tower of Fools by Andrzej Sapkowski

1.0

I only finished this book because I'm incapable of starting a book and not finishing it. It was a horrific slog, to be honest. The writing style is terrible, the characters are generally uninteresting, and the same thing happens repeatedly, rinse and repeat... Our hero is in danger, he gets captured, he escapes. About 15 times. All for a woman who isn't even interested in him and then basically disappears halfway through the book for no reason. The sheer number of characters and places introduced is absurd, all with complex names, most of which are completely irrelevant to the story for more than a few pages. The system of magic is inconsistent, and seems to have few to no rules which establish how it works. I really cannot recommend this book to anyone.
