On the opposite end I am having a difficult time liking Yennefer. I’ve recently started disliking the “Special Snowflake” trope, but Cirri is definitely one of the good ones! I still quite love Geralt, but I was particularly thrilled to get more of Cirri in this book! It was fun to see her go through her trainings, and I just love her sort of wild personality. That being said I still found all of it to be charming and strangely engrossing, and I think a lot of that has to do with Sapkowski’s witty writing, and the audio book narrator’s talent for doing multiple voices! This particular book was conversation-heavy, and a lot of the dialogue covered politics and schemes and pondering over mysteries and destiny. I’ve gotten used to Andrzej Sapkowski‘s The Witcher books being filled with mythical beings and lots of exciting action scenes, but Blood of Elves had less of the former and much, much less of the latter. I loved seeing familiar characters, and I felt a little thrill every time I recognized a name or description. A lot of what happens in Blood of Elves, Book One, makes so much more sense when you’ve read the first two short story collections.
I have to say I’m happy that I began my journey into the world of The Witcher with The Last Wish and Sword of Destiny because I really felt like I had a good foundation for reading the main series. This is A Review of Blood of Elves – Spoiler Free
