Baptism of Fire

The Witcher, Book 3

De: Andrzej Sapkowski, David French - Translator

Narrado por: Peter Kenny

A deadly coup within the Wizard's Guild leaves the Witcher, Geralt of Rivia, gravely injured, and his ward Ciri missing in the third novel of Andrzej Sapkowski's groundbreaking epic fantasy series that inspired the hit Netflix show and the blockbuster video games.

The Wizards Guild has been shattered by a coup, an uprising that has left Geralt seriously injured.

The Witcher is supposed to be a guardian of the innocent, a protector of those in need, a defender against powerful and dangerous monsters that prey on men in dark times. But now that dark times have fallen upon the world, Geralt is helpless until he has recovered.

While war rages across the lands, the future of magic is under threat and those sorcerers who survive are determined to protect it. It's an impossible situation in which to find one girl - Ciri, the heiress to the throne of Cintra - until a rumor places her in the Niflgaard court, preparing to marry the Emperor.

Injured or not, Geralt has a rescue mission on his hands.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"The character interplay is complex, unsentimental and anchored in brutal shared history. All bodes well for twisty plotting to come." ( SFX)

"Sapkowski revitalizes the genre with energetic and compelling writing. A breath of fresh air in a well-worn genre. Don't miss it!" ( Dreamwatch)

"Like Mieville and Gaiman, Sapkowski takes the old and makes it new." ( Foundation)

Another Great Book

Another great tale in the saga of the Witcher. Excellent narration and story that keeps you very intrigued as to what is next.

one of the best in the saga

For me, bof and tos are, by far, the high points in an already amazing saga.

Amazing performance

I was already a fan of the games. These books have enhanced the experience. Will likely read again

great story

Story was great. However, author needs to pronounce Dandelion correctly. Like the flower. not Dan-dill-Eon.

The best Witcher book

This and Tower of Swallows are incredible books. Didn't enjoy the others quite as much. Performance is great in all of them - Peter Kenny does a really outstanding job.

next please

another great installment. I can't wait to get through the next Witcher book. it's awesome.

Always Fantastic!

Sooooo very good! Just like all the others, I have enjoyed this book! Narration and writing is excellent!

Comrades are formed

Not intending to, Geralt finds himself in a group of unlikely heroes off to find Ciri. Meanwhile, Yennifer finds herself also aligned with unlikely allies. Ciri is perfecting her swordsmanship as she becomes one of the 'most wanted'.
The war wages on, with Geralt trying to avoid taking sides, but destiny is also at work.
As with the previous installments, Peter Kenny does a wonderful job bringing all the characters come to life.

Kept my attention

It's a very interesting series. The reader gives people distinct voices but some get a bit silly. I'm excited for this to deepen my understanding for when I play the 3rd game.

Phenomenal Performance!

Peter Kenny's deliverance of the material is absolutely superb and does a magnificent job of drawing you in!
