Ultimately disappointed in how it ended, but much of the middle was great. Worth finishing if you've read the other novels in the series, but it's a lackluster one.

A great conclusion to an amazing series. Bittersweet ending for many of the characters, and it did feel like the real climax of the storyline came a bit too early in the book, giving me very much the "return to the Shire" feeling from Lord of the Rings. But when all is said and done, this was a great ending. I am not sure what the Season of Storms is going to be about because I felt the ending here was pretty conclusive, but I look forward to reading it.

All in all, this is an amazing series and I highly recommend it.

This whole series had so many ups and downs and was a real mixed bag for me. I really struggled through the whole series but pushed on to finish. Some parts were amazing and others truly tedious and unnecessary. Many of the main characters became annoying to me while the secondary characters brought me a lot more enjoyment. Overall I enjoyed it but was left disappointed with how it ended after what felt like a bit of battle to get to this end point.

Mi fa quasi male al cuore dare una sola stella alla saga di Geralt. Fa male - tanto - quando il finale della saga che hai adorato e divorato ti delude.
Il fatto che non avessi fretta di finirlo la dice lunga. L'ho letto a bocconi, nei ritagli di tempo, più per vedere dove andava a parare che per altro. E continuavo ad avcere la sensazione che Sapkowski mi stesse spammando fuffa. Bella fuffa, eh, perché è pur sempre Sap, ma comunque fuffa. E questo mi lascia abbastanza l'amaro in bocca.
A ventiquattro ore dall'ultimo punto, sono ancora arrabbiata perché le morti del finale non mi hanno fatto nemmeno piangere. Sembravano buttate lì, tanto per. E non è modo di uccidere un personaggio che mi hai fatto amare per centinaia di pagine.
Se devono morire, che sia una morte degna - o, quantomeno, scritta bene. Invece no.
Come far salire il crimine alla gente.
Penso farò finta che questo libro non sia mai stato scritto e che Geralt, Yennefer, Ciri e gli altri abbiano avuto un finale degno.
Tanto già lo so che, appena mi passerà l'ira, leggerò comunque La stagione delle tempeste.
