asharp 's review for:

Blood of Elves by Andrzej Sapkowski

3.0

adventurous medium-paced

---

I don't think this book holds up very well on its own - the plot if there is one is hard to make out, the structure and pacing are all over the place and it reads more like a collection of scenes written as exercises in world-building. Nevertheless I am coming away from this book eager to read the next and stay immersed in this world, so Sapkowski must be doing something right.
Also worth noting is the impressive number of major female characters for a fantasy book written by a man in the 1990s
