Not having played any of the games (although I have read some of the earlier books) one of the key problem's with Netflix first season of 'The Witcher', I found, was the way it jumped around timelines with no real clear 'this is set in <period>' shown.


That aspect, thankfully, is almost entirely done away with in the second season which, as a result, means it is far easier to follow just what is going on!

Set in the aftermath of the Battle of Floden field, with Geralt and Ciri now reunited and with Geralt also believing Yennefer to be dead, this season also introduces more members of the group to which he belongs; that is to say, more Witchers.

I found the season overall to be a bit hit and miss: when the episodes were good, they were very good, but when they were bad ... they were bad.

None the less, still interestied to see where this goes!

This is one of those books that I neither loved nor loathed ... I liken it to one of those films that's not brilliant but you have to watch it to see how it ends but you soon forget about it.

In summary, it's a story about lies and secrets and one woman's quest to find out the truth and the consequences of her doing so. It starts off well, drops in the middle and gets going again towards the end. There are twists but I found them quite predictable. The characters are an interesting bunch and not particularly likeable and I have to admit that I wasn't particularly upset when one of them met an untimely end!

The narrator did a good job but I just found this book not particularly memorable or 'thrilling' but many have so give it a go.

Thank you to Bookouture Audio and NetGalley for my copy in return for an honest, unbiased and unedited review.
