After the slow beginning of [b:Blood of Elves|6043781|Blood of Elves (The Witcher, #1)|Andrzej Sapkowski|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1443278828l/6043781._SY75_.jpg|1877722], things really start to pick up in the second in the series. There's a bit more monster-slaying, but it's still primarily a book about war, and the politics that shape it. Ciri begins to come into her own as a character (perhaps the central character, despite the name of the series, though Geralt's importance should not be understated). For the first time in the series I noticed a couple of places where the translation was a little wonky, but overall still meets the standard of the previous books. Definitely an interesting take on the classic sword-and-sorcery genre.
