A review by lianareadsblog
The Tower of Fools by Andrzej Sapkowski

4.0

This book is so addictive in the best way.

I usually read a story in one day, but this one took me almost a week because I didn’t want to rush it and miss any details.

It’s very long as well, almost double as usual but that didn’t discourage me to enjoy the rich characterization of some of the oldest countries in Europe and the mix of part fiction, part real history.

There’s so much to take in here, so many fascinating characters, and the interaction is just so easy to follow and understand nothing like other novels where I need a thesaurus next to me.

The maturity and real-life scenes are vividly illustrated and some topics left me a bit speechless as I didn’t expect to read about them but they exist since the word was built and even if it’s still a taboo matter for so many civilizations, the author made it authentic and part of life in every scene that matter.

I’m so looking forward to the next books in the trilogy and I couldn’t recommend it enough.

It’s so real and atmospheric, full of twists and historical issues that many people will enjoy.
