zarul_afandi 's review for:

Light Perpetual by Andrzej Sapkowski

3.0

---

Finally finished the Hussite trilogy and I gotta say, as grim and dark as it was...the ending was somewhat satisfying. Somewhat.
Reynevan set out to save his 'beloved' and all of it somehow sparks the beginning of the Hussite Crusade which pit the Roman Catholics against the Czechs that spread out into a full blown war for everyone in the region. All of this provided a cool landscape for what is essentially an adventure story that started out quite light hearted and somewhat comedic in The Tower of Fools and descended into grimdark territory with Warriors of God which then led to the conclusion of Light Perpetual.
Andrzej manages to create interesting characters that I came to like and care about which is surprising as i kinda lost hope when i got to Warriors of God, but regained it with Light Perpetual. All in all, Light Perpetual is a decent book that manages to give a satisfactory conclusion to this quite depressing trilogy about how life never goes how we want it to but still gives us what we need.

As per usual here are some cool things in this book:
- A proper conclusion
- Depression
