*3.5 stars
(triggers at the end)

as these books go along and i read into this world more and more, i continue to realize what parts of this series i enjoy and which ones i do not.

characters, plotpoints, intrigue, i enjoy different parts of these- some of the characters that we follow i could care less for, and others are hardly present sometimes. i can't even explain what it was that i didn't enjoy about the plot. was it meandering at times? yes. was it well-paced? sometimes.

am i bad to be salty that there wasn't enough geralt, but also thankful that we got quite a bit of ciri? all at the same time.

anyways, onto the next one lmao
