Incredible ending to The Witcher series and it seemed that even Sapkowski "learned" from the mistakes he made in his previous books.

The best way to convey the events from the book to the reader, and this time in different ways, reminiscent of Tolkien's books in the description of the battle. The translation is spot-on in what it needs to convey, and it seems that this is the book that inspired CD Projekt Red to create the games and specifically, to bring this environment and world to life in an unparalleled way, something that the author also achieves here.

It never "lost" me at any moment, as it was constantly a book with enough description and not "superfluous" like the others, where sometimes I ended up skipping a few small phrases.

The ending leaves you with a constant curiosity, but if someone takes it that its continuation is the games, then they will know what happens. Truly, it is the peak of Sapkowski's books and it shows why!

The quality of the book is exactly the same (logical, of course) as the previous ones in English literature, The Witcher books.

It's a shame that the Netflix series doesn't want to follow the events one by one, because through them they would have a better connection.

But don't be confused, because in the book it shows that there is a continuation, but it's not true, because it's just a few more stories that Sapkowski created after he finished The Lady of the Lake, and he wanted his fans to follow him in one last "story" of The Witcher, with the events that are intermediate to the events of "The Sword of Destiny".

Incredibly good book, but I noticed something towards the end that was related to Siri's company and the elves, something that was not mentioned in any of the previous 3 books.

Of course, the translator is spot-on in many things in the translation and makes the reading even more enjoyable with the way he interprets certain things!

However, for those who, although eager to read all the books in the series, this one and the next one (Lady of the Lake) are the "hardest" to understand in order to fully grasp the lore and how Siri's magic "works". Therefore, those who know English but may struggle with the translation in some aspects or in a more advanced level will have difficulty understanding several things as they now start to reach a more "scientific" level.

Perhaps the best thing you can do is to wait for the translated version of the book, but I doubt if the translator loves the series as much as the English translator does. It is evident from the effort he puts in to give the reader the environment in which the protagonist(s) are and how the situation around them develops, using wrong names or incorrectly translated ones.

The quality of the book is, of course, the same as the previous one in the series (in English), but be careful because it does not have a bookmark and when ordering from Skroutz, you might be able to mention in the order comments that you want it to come with a bookmark, as when I ordered it, it didn't have one.
