Big time skip but a good way of explaining it by having dandelion find geralt.

The first chapter showing the insides of nilfgaard was a little confusing as there were a lot of new names introduced in a short amount of time, which made it a little hard to follow.

Okay, now the book is getting juicy. Finally there’s a god action sequence and shit is starting to get real. Codringher and Fenn were murdered, there was a coup de tas that I still don’t fully understand because it’s hard to keep track of all the sorcerer names, and geralt is kicking ass. Also, ciri became an oracle? I don’t care, I’m loving it.

Book is getting better, I really like the scene with Ciri and the Wyvern. I wish there was more Geralt because he’s getting interesting now

This book is already better than the previous, The Blood of Elves, as that felt it was only setting up the major characters of the story, but this is getting deeper into the plot. There is already some good suspense with Geralt’s meeting with Codringher and Fenn and that dialogue kind of laying out possibilities of where the book may go and leaving Gerald with some ultimatums.
