À propos de cet audio

The world is at war and the prophesied savior is nowhere to be found. The Witcher, Geralt of Rivia, races to find her in the fourth novel of Andrzej Sapkowski's groundbreaking epic fantasy series that inspired the hit Netflix show and the blockbuster video games.

The world has fallen into war. Ciri, the child of prophecy, has vanished. Hunted by friends and foes alike, she has taken on the guise of a petty bandit and lives free for the first time in her life.

But the net around her is closing. Geralt, the Witcher, has assembled a group of allies including Dandelion, Milva, Regis, and Cahir, to rescue her. Both sides of the war have sent brutal mercenaries to hunt her down. Her crimes have made her famous.

There is only one place left to run. The tower of the swallow is waiting...

#Audible1 If you haven't heard of the Witcher Saga then you are missing out. This series follows the main character Geralt of Rivia, a Witcher, in his travels across the Continent in search of employment in his trade; that of hunting and slaying dangerous monsters that prey upon humans. This polish masterpiece was written by Andrzej Sapkowski and is the inspiration behind the three internationally acclaimed Witcher Games and the impending Netflix series. The books are heavily steeped in Slavic lore and are offer a startling insight into the human condition making us ask who the true monsters are and who are the ones who need saving. The world doesn't need a hero. It needs a professional. WORTH THE LISTEN/READ

Peter Kenny is a master narrator. I love this series but Book 4 for me, is the best one yet! I’m jumping right into Book 5!

Book 4 is the best so far!

The Good
This book focuses on Ciri. At first, I worried that the book was going to focus on Geralt and his motley crew some more as early scenes in the book did focus on them and seemed to be revising old themes and storylines. The change to Ciri’s story was refreshing. Her storyline was fast paced and exiting.

The ending of the book was a wild ride, I didn’t expect what happened and it was thrilling to listen to. It does end on a cliff hanger, but the scene prior to the ending will vividly live in my memory for a long time.
In this book, Bonhart is a villain that could inspire terror and he was an example of great character work.

As usual Peter Kenny was fantastic.

The Bad
In this book I didn’t enjoy when the story focused on Geralt and company, as I found it a little boring. Furthermore, whenever the story focused on Yennifer I was very bored.

Sapkowski experimented with multiple perspectives in this book. Sometimes we learn about Ciri’s story from her perspective, sometimes from people following her. He did the same with Geralt’s story, including putting some of Dandelion’s perspective in first person. At times it worked, and other times I felt it fell flat.

Bonhart may have been a great villain, but Rience was the opposite. I couldn’t stand him and felt that he was more cartoonish than a real threat.

This next complaint could be chalked up to poor translation, but since David French’s translations have felt so accurate and true to Sapkowski’s intention, I’m not sure. There was a line that referenced “The Final Solution to the Witcher Problem,” and it felt too close to the famous Nazi euphemism; it took me right out of the story. I feel that line was in bad taste.

There was one thing that bothered me about Peter Kenny’s narrations, in the first two or three books he pronounced Dandelion’s name like the yellow weed found throughout southwestern Ontario: dandelion. Then he switched his pronunciation of his name in later books. However, in this book he went back to using his original pronunciation.

It Drags at Times, but overall it’s still Great

I love this one as much as the others in the series, but dear lord some of the voices they made for the creatures..... it would screech in my headphones. Just be weary. It was unbearable.
