STARTED BAPTISM OF FIRE! Enjoying so far. Dandelion is really stupid, my tummy hurts. I hope that… uhm… I hope that Cahir is okay…? That them finding his bloodied mount doesn’t mean he’s toast? We’ll see. They just introduced Emiel Regis and I know about him so that is cool. BRING GERALT, YENNEFER AND CIRI BACK TOGETHER.

FINISHED THE TIME OF CONTEMPT. Fantastic book. Holy, those last two chapters, especially the second last, were AMAZING!!!! Ciri is a fantastic character and I’m so curious to see where this all goes. I really enjoyed Vilgefortz in this novel as well. Great things going on in these books, bless my dad for getting me the box set.

Chapter six was so good, you’re actually kidding me… the unicorn symbolism, and the visions of Falka and the time of contempt befalling those around Ciri… FEED IT TO ME ON A PLATTER, MAN. Cirilla, my Shayla… 😭😭😭.

The Conclave of sorcerer’s and all the fighting and Geralt/Yennefer content that came from that was so crazy. Vilgefortz is SOO good, when he was trying to convince Geralt to join him… the writing of that monologue was peak. Really enjoyed the bit humanizing Cahir after Ciri could neutralize him as well. Very good things so far. Enjoying this book a lot.

Started The Time of Contempt. Where I left off, Geralt, Yennefer, and Ciri are altogether again, which I am so happy about. Ohhhhhh, my found family…! Also, Dandelion is there. So that’s cool, I guess… I thought the section of chapter two with Ciri and Fabio and the Wyvern was cool.

FINISHED BLOOD OF ELVES!!! I enjoyed it a lot. I loved the final chapter being very Yennefer and Ciri centric. I’ve been talking so much about Geralt being a fatheerrrrr, which is true, but Yennefer is a MOTHER. And it hits especially well because of Yennefer’s backstory. MY TUMMY. Excited for The Time of Contempt.

The fight and scene with Geralt + Philippa at the end of chapter six was sooooo good. Geralt being all pissed off over Yennefer and Ciri, do not start with me!!!! Loved, loved, loved it. When the book said that he was furious and he took his sword right between that guy’s eyes… YUP, YUP!!!!

Really loved some of the visuals in this section I read. The visual of Ciri’s face after the elves’ blood sprayed on her, and the white rose pinned on her pelted with blood drops… very cool. I love Geralt and Yennefer, her letter made me giggle. Visibly scrunched up my face at Dandelion’s return… do NOT show him to me…

When the dwarf asked if Ciri was Geralt’s, and Geralt was just like “Mine.” HE IS A MOTHER 😭😭.

Who the hell let these stupid fucking Witchers raise a little girl, man… it’s over 😭😭😭.
