I'm debating whether to finish this or not (2.5 hours left to go in the audiobook). It's good, but this series is not for me. I'm overwhelmed by the world building — too much detail for me to keep track of, maybe, without characters in those settings helping personalize the various elements and make things feel more real.

I’m wondering if something got left out of this audiobook — over halfway through and the monster-fighting Witcher has yet to fight a monster. The story is fun and the characters are excellent, but the constant info-dump world-building is getting onerous.

I am digging it so far. I'm fascinated by the author's tendency to show instruction via only one character (the one doing the training) speaking in long paragraphs, where the trainee's actions and responses are implied rather than spelled out. A very cool technique, although I feel it's a bit over-used.

I can see why this series is so popular. I'm looking forward to the rest of it.
