I’m so glad I decided to reread this. I love the characters and their relationships. My only problem is I find that the sections that AREN’T focused on Geralt, Ciri, Yennefer (or any of the other main characters really) somewhat meandering. The series can sometimes get bogged down in politics, and not particularly interesting ones. I’m also one of the only ones amongst my friends who have read this series that finds the ending satisfying

i found the repeated use of "Ciri is an incubator for my babies" plot unnecessary. the first time was vile and made me really angry, but by the end of the book it has happened so often that i had become desensitised and disappointed. the ending was also a little cheesy for such a complex and grim story.

Absolutely tragic but beautiful goodbye to these characters (the true last book of the series). Has the same pacing issues as the others but certain portions are just golden

Not sure what to think actually. After finishing this book I reread summaries for all the novels (I haven't read the second prequel yet, but nevermind) and I still have no clue what's going on. So apparently the entire business of Ciri *SPOILER* as the chosen one was for nothing? We don't know what will happen. I also dislike the ending of Yennefer and Geralt (I never liked Yennefer in the first place and am still mad about her bitching against Triss who is so much cooler, WHATEVER, back to the topic at hand), but I can see why it happened. I don't really get the entire Pseudo-Arthurian-Universe thingy, although Galahad and the framing device are quite sweet. I don't know, the entire ending was just meh. And what happened to Emhyr? Why did he change his mind? Did I miss something? I am so lost!

3 Stars because Geralt wanting to give up being a witcher and then picking up his witcher sort literally five minutes later to save the dwarfes in the pogrom was really sweet and he's one of the good guys. WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

I had a really hard time finishing this series. I really wanted to like it, but the constant narrator switching was very tiring. You barely actually read parts involving the Witcher. At one point, Ciri keeps seeing him dying in a snow storm and then the next time you hear of him, he's rescuing her from a tower. Most of the women were horribly written. Honestly I'm so disappointed in this series.
