raguel 's review for:

Blood of Elves by Andrzej Sapkowski

3.0

---

This was good, but wasn't nearly as compelling as the first two short story collections. We get to see more of the same characters and their personalities, which I liked, but the plot moved slowly, and the dialogue and conversations were sometimes tedious. I'm wondering if a lot of this book is set-up material for the subsequent books in the series to give the reader a better idea of the political scheming and reasons behind the war, but if that's the case, this still could have been done with a bit more excitement.

Despite this, I'm giving it 3 stars because Geralt is still a very compelling and likable character and it was fun to see Ciri and Yennefer bond.
