Blood of Elves

no, i hadn't expected to enjoy this as much as i did and yes, i will be continuing with the series

i played the games a little, and watched the tv show in full, so the books are sort of the last leg that i've gotten to in the witcher universe, but by far is it my most favorite. i think it makes up for what the show lacks in terms of dialogue, story, and world-building, and makes up for what the games lack in an even balance of story and action (well, for my taste — i don't like too much action/battle scenes).

i also like the plot of the books much better than the tv show. the major differences between the two made the book more enjoyable, especially with regards to ciri (who i find a bit insufferable in the tv show). i get that the writing style might not suit some tastes, but having the imagery of the witcher tv show it wasn't hard to give settings to places when a majority of the chapter was dialogue.

overall, i quite enjoyed this and i hope i can get my hands on the next book soon!
