The Tower of the Swallow by Andrzej Sapkowski
2.0

Wow.

What a slog fest. While the words are good and the story is decent (I think), getting through the constantly changing POVs and stylistic asides and inconsistent storytelling devices, I'm struggling to understand how ANYONE could get through enough of this to put together a successful series of video games, much less a TV series.

I think the story is compelling enough to keep going but I honestly can't keep any of the secondary characters straight and, beyond the main storyline of Geralt constantly looking for Ciri and Ciri consistently showing she can take care of herself, I couldn't actually care less about the side plots. I don't care about the characters and the back and forth in time/space/storytelling is more aggravating than anything else.
