The Lady of the Lake by Andrzej Sapkowski
3.0

3.25 Stars
I can't give it less even if I'm really disapointed with this book.

I liked different things about this book, the time travels of Ciri were fun and interesting, She even fight a Baba Yaga's male version at some moment, liked the fights and the politics, I liked the big twist with the Emperor (Except the incest). I shed some tears for the Geralt's crew with everyone having a past dream before dying, it was like in the movies.

We come to be used to Sapkowski's F***ed up mind and style but this time it was not really great. It felt like he just wanted to be over with all his characters and the Witcher. That last chapter was a really big poor conclusion. The Arthurian's legend touch was so European's Medieval history influence that has nothing to do in the Witcher's world, really why?

Did he tried to copy the LOTR's ending with Frodo and Gandalf leaving for the Undying Lands or something. Was this all just a fairy tale told by Dandelion?!

To be honest, I was just left confused with this book.
