Publisher's Summary

Before he was the guardian of Ciri, the child of destiny, Geralt of Rivia was a legendary swordsman. Join the Witcher as he undertakes a deadly mission in this stand-alone adventure set in the Andrzej Sapkowki’s groundbreaking epic fantasy world that inspired the hit Netflix show and the blockbuster video games.

Geralt of Rivia is a Witcher, one of the few capable of hunting the monsters that prey on humanity. 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.

The season of storms is coming. . .

Couldn't Be Better

This is exactly how audio books should be, I couldn't ask for more. My only complaint is that this is the last one.

Hands down the best narration on Audible

Peter Kenny is a true master at his craft. He is perfect for this already masterful series and adds so much subtlety to the already subtle nature of Sapkowski's text. 10/10

In search of the White Wolf

#Audible1 Taking place long after the conclusion of the Lady in the Lake, this long-awaited book follows the story of a young woman following the legend of the white wolf in search of truth. A fascinating story of Geralt and company as seen through the eyes of a stranger looking back through time and distance.

A good listen and an interesting conclusion

A much better end to the series.

I’m very happy to have listened to this, the previous book left me feeling that things were ending just because they eventually had to; somehow rushing through things while at the same time, dragging it out. This volume felt closer in style to the first couple of books and left me feeling much more satisfied with how things ended although still left wondering.
Peter Kenny is too fast a performer but listening on .9 or .8 speed, he is wonderful. I highly recommend slowing things down if you have a hard time listening to his reading.

A Fun Return to Adventuring with Geralt

I went into this book hesitantly, I’d purchased it prior to reading The Lady of the Lake, which I found to be only okay, as a result it brought down my opinion of the series. I had heard Season of Storms was a series of short stories and since I really enjoyed the books of short stories I was hopeful. It is not a series of short stories, it’s more like a an overarching story of loosely connected events. Essentially Geralt’s swords are stolen early in the novel, and he gets drawn into several different conflicts while searching for them.

I was bored at the start of the novel, it felt too familiar. There was a sorceress throwing herself at Geralt, questions about who really are monsters, monsters or humans? and questions about who are really demons, demons or humans? Then there was the tension that Andrzej Sapkowski tried to generate by putting Geralt’s life in danger. Knowing that this story takes place prior to Blood of Elves there was obviously no real danger for Geralt. Things did get better by about the 1/3 mark.
The sense of adventure Sapkowski is good at creating returned and I began to enjoy the book.

It is a little confusing as to when this story takes place. At one point it appears to take place prior to the first story in The Last Wish book, but at another it appears to take place between The Last Wish and prior to The Sword of Destiny. Regardless, the epilogue gives away the ending of The Lady of the Lake, so this novel should be read after reading all the previous books in the series.

As always, Peter Kenny was fantastic. Without his voice acting skills I likely wouldn't have finished this novel.

If you’re a fan of The Witcher series I suspect you’ll really enjoy this book.

Entertaining Fantany

I really like this author as he keeps the story moving forward and always in directions to new mini story lines. Characters are interesting and the narrator is great - Peter Kenny.
I have been reading/listening to these novels out of order but still able so far to follow the storyline . I hope there will be more on Netflix’s
Keep the stories going Andrzel Sapkowski!!!

the ending is most poignant

Certainly not his greatest crowning achievement in the Witcher series but a worthy final tale.

I would read this last. There arent any spoilers but the ending is sort of meant as a final goodbye to the reader. It's probably best suited to read after playing the games through as well, it's defintely a finale to our beloved Geralt

A total relief

This series of events , after his latest apparent break with Yennefer , barely mention Ciri and this makes me happy . I can look forward to another or please more stories as we wait for the years to turn and Cirila and Yennefer once again emerge and demand my full attention .
