About this ebook

Geralt the Witcher races to find his missing ward, Ciri, in this fourth novel in the bestselling Witcher series that inspired the blockbuster video games and the fourth season of the hit Netflix show.
The world has fallen into war. Ciri, the child of prophecy, has vanished. Hunted by friends and foes alike, she has taken on the guise of a petty bandit and lives free for the first time in her life.

Given a 5 * rating as TOTALLY B L O W N away by the ending. Without giving too much away: it was about the concept of time and space. It's that light bulb moment you get when the structure of the books are realised. It had been niggling at me from the start of watching the Netflix series. Why jump in time? It's disoriented and makes your head spin for trying to rationalize it. I felt motion sickness. Not that I give up on anything easily but this made me struggle to pick it up at times and I either haven't followed Ciri's age properly or the author has put Ciri's age to be older when he's telling us of her first sexual encounter. Has her age suddenly been lost in translation? Finishing this book has made it all worth while. I'm not sure why the date of review is totally wrong? It's 26th March 2021
