The relationship between Ciri and Yennifer is everything I didn't know I needed.

The political aspects of the story is poorly explained and the author suddenly introduced like 6 rulers without giving any information about the state of their countries and why they want to act a certain way. The little explanation that is given is very hard to follow because there is no world map, at least in this edition. The conversation between these rulers was just too long compared to what was learned

I can't decide if I like these veeery long conversations that keeps happening or if it's just too much dialogue at once. But it's continuency interesting so I guess I enjoy it? Also I just watched the first two episodes of the TV-series and DAMN TV Yennifer is way better than book Yennifer so far. Dandelion is pretty much himself and I like it. The rest I'm a bit on the fence about.

I was getting a bit tired of reading descriptions of Ciri training her fighting skills but now it seems like the plot is moving on. I hope I get to learn more about the Witchers and HOW they create new Witchers because their order is intriguing. I still like Triss (thank God).

Things this book needs: maps. Also shorter chapters. But I'm captivated this far AND I don't want to puke on the female character that's having the focus right now. Yes Sapkowski give me period discussions in fantasy! Hell yes. Like if he lost some feminist points for me before he definitely gained some back.

A REALLY good first chapter
