Season of Storms (The Witcher, #6)

by Andrzej Sapkowski

David A French (Translator) and David French (Translator)

"Geralt of Rivia is a Witcher, one of the few capable of hunting the monsters that prey on humanity. A mutant who is tasked with killing unnatural beings. He uses magical signs, potions, and the pride of every Witcher--two swords, steel and silver. But a contract has gone wrong, and Geralt finds himself without his signature weapons. Now he needs them back, because sorcerers are scheming, and across the world clouds are gathering"--Amazon.com.

Full review on my blog coming soon!


Wow, this was unnecessary.
However, it's not only Sapkowski's characters I often can't deal with. In general, he makes comparisons that are extremely irritating or unfitting. For example: at some point he compares the likeness of women picking berries to whales poking out of the waves. Sapkowski, dude, did you seriously just call those ladies big fat whales?!.
The book seemed to drag for forever and a day. I found the most part of the story to be simply annoying. Even Geralt was rather dull and I rolled my eyes at him a lot.
I've read worse books but in terms of Witcher novels, this one is probably my least favorite. Many of the other books had annoying parts as well but at least at some point we got a bunch of redeeming chapters.
Here I feel like I wouldn't have missed a thing had I skipped it.
Geralt spends an entire novel looking for his damn sword. This sounds like a side quest in the video game that you'd probably chose to ignore. Even the main antagonist was just a weird and stupid idiot. I hated his characterization. I often have problems with how Sapkowski describes his characters but this dude was among the worst ones.
