I love how these MFers are like "In these rotten times" as if literally their whole histories and culture aren't rotten, lmao.

I just love stories where women are reduced to their wombs and child-rearing abilities and serve as nothing more than objects to further male-elves genetic dreams.

Also, why is it elf and she-elf? We don't call them humans and she-humans.

"Ciri was so dirty. I had to undress her... she didn't resist, didn't scream."

There's a lot of that happening in this novel.

"You did right, sending Angouleme away," Cahir continued. "It isn't for girls. Even girls like her. We'll sort it out, the two of us."

LOL, okay boy-o. Not sure where ya'll would be without girls, ones like Milva; you sure as shit wouldn't have found your half-elf without Angouleme. But sure, this is "boys stuff."

So Ciri is 5'9 and 112 pounds...

According to the BMI chart, she should be between 130 - 160lbs. The lowest weight I can see is 110lbs. Which places her at the low end of underweight, meaning she's basically anorexic. Cool, Sapowski, cool.

Fuck me, this is boring.
