ejrathke 's review for:
Blood of Elves
by Andrzej Sapkowski
So fully in love with these stories. It's an interesting pacing and world that only gets better.
REREAD:
Rereading the series now that the final book is out. It's interesting, since I actually like this book less this time around. Or rather, its deficiencies are more noticeable. Especially after reading The Sword of Destiny.
This first novel had a different translator, and I think that's part of the problem. The writing is just worse. But the novel also starts out somewhat weak, which makes this first novel actually a poor introduction into the world of the Witcher. I think Sword of Destiny probably works as the best introduction, since it includes all the events that are background to the series, while also just exhibiting some of the best stories.
But, yeah, moving on to the next book.
