I'd forgotten that Sapkowski's writing often has some funny writing given the fantasy genre. It's consistent to be about a good nose exhale once every 15 minutes, like a hint of humor.

God bless free YouTube audiobook recordings bro.

So far pretty decent. Ciri gets training at Kaer Mohren, I recognized everybody present and noticed the first Witcher game (I've only played like 20% of it) replicated the scenario pretty directly with the first mission.

My understanding of the series is starting to solidify now with The Last Wish, Sword of Destiny, the Witcher 1 game and now this...

Back in the saddle. Maybe.

I'M BACK TO READING A REAL BOOK FOR THE FIRST TIME IN A MONTH OR TWO!!!!

Lately I've been binge reading My Hero Academia. I absolutely hated it until I took a break, then came back and it was alright, solid 6.5/10 stuff, but now it's seriously picked up to like 8-8.5/10. I'm loving it rn.

But anyway, Witcher 1 just got returned and this seems to be a desired one at the library, so I got my pick while I could.

This volume got super intense after the first third out of nowhere and now it feels so tonally different.

Subaru genuinely should get married to Rem after all this idgaf what idealized form of Emilia you want to glaze. Rem can guide subaru in this new world so well.

(To remind myself if I check back in on this)
--- The entire village sequence
--- rem being head over heels for subaru
--- Witch Cult Stuff?

Oh btw, I'm probably going to drop this since Spotify STUDENT doesn't offer audiobooks AT ALL. It's so ironic, but when I switched from Individual premium to Student I got locked out of this audiobook lol.

Okay trying to immerse myself in two high fantasy worlds simultaneously is so ridiculously impossible wow.

I'm currently playing The Witcher 1 on PC from 2007, and I've been easing myself back into the Witcher world since it's been 2 years since I read The Last Wish and Sword of Destiny. I'm actually starting to enjoy it again. I remember it being very "binge-able" if nothing else.

Anyway, I'll finish this volume.

When Subaru says he remembers there's something he can still do in spite of everything during his time with the Karsten house, he better be referring to Return by Death.

This mf fucking everything up and NEVER using the ability that got me hooked into the series is NOT what I signed up for. Get it together bud.

Karsten woman is cool. And for the love of God Subaru you'd be better off with Rem or even Ferris atp.

The most meandering snail-paced novel I’ve ever listened to.

Is the point that bureaucracy sucks because everything moves so slowly and achieves nothing simultaneously? Almost like Kafka’s writing itself (okay subtract some shade his descriptions convey intent and mood well)…

This has to be the most convoluted story, rambling writing I’ve ever seen.

There will literally be 30 minute long scenes where it’s just a guy describing some thing all to say one thing. Like one of the characters takes like 20 minutes to just basically tell the main character not to talk to somebody.
