Blood of Elves
Blood of Elves - Andrzej Sapkowski

I always read a lot of books at the same time. Still, I am not used to reading series back to back. Usually there are quite some other books that creep in between. It is rather rare that I am so engrossed in a series I read them all one after the other.

I think Blood of Elves suffered a little because it was the third Witcher book I was reading in one month. I wanted to read it, after the first two short story-books this was the first full novel. However, I found that I thought it was a little bit too much at this time.

Blood of Elves sort of starts where Sword of Destiny finished, but I had the same problems I had with the first two books. It is nice, although it did not feel like too much happened in this one, but not much more than that. I will continue the series, but first take a little brake.

Geralt having a child of surprise
Blood of Elves - Andrzej Sapkowski

Geralt after united with Ciri and promised not to leave her again bring her to be trained as a witcher. 

 

But they didn't use any poison on her that make her mutate into something else. After all, she is the first girl to be trained as a witcher and Geralt and his mates didn't know how to deal with girl.

 

Triss came to help. And they were not that good at girl's things. 

 

Ciri the Lion Cub is the princess who would now either be killed or be found and forced into marriage to get more power.

 

Geralt has to keep her self. The training of Ciri as witcher is fun. Then she is sent to the temple for girls to be trained for their magic ability. Ciri has not able to do magic. Only Yennefer recognized her blood and her potential. So the story is about how Ciri become the apprentice of Yennefer.

 

The characters developments and the landscape of the story is pretty rich. It is not surprise that it is both made into video games and TV series. 

 

The characters are likable and they are in difficult situations. So readers would like to know what's happen next. 

 

Another 4.5 stars read.

DNF'd at 115 pages
Blood of Elves - Andrzej Sapkowski

The translation. Is. AWFUL. But that wasn't the only problem for me. I got more than a hundred pages in and, really, all that happened was a discussion of Ciri's period. That was the most eventful thing. I imagine this makes me a very bad Witcher fan, because I know other people go NUTS for the books, but it wasn't doing it for me, and with the truly terrible translation, I just decided not to try to power through it.

Blood of Elves-The Lion Cub of Cintra
Blood of Elves - Andrzej Sapkowski

This story has racism, political problems, adventure, magic, and more! I really enjoyed how Ciri progressed through this story. Geralt wasn't really the main character of this story, but Ciri was. That didn't bother me at all since Ciri is a complete bad-ass!I really enjoyed this huge adventure and enjoyed reading every second of it. But I did have trouble with all the lands and locations, it would of helped if they added a map to the book, but I guess I could've just looked it up! ^^; Well that's the end of this review I do recommend this book for anyone who loved Game Of Thrones any book like that! This whole book series even has a video game to go along with it! Go read and then Go play!
