Lady of the Lake

The Witcher, Book 5

De: Andrzej Sapkowski, David French - translator

Narrado por: Peter Kenny

The fifth novel in the New York Times bestselling Witcher series that inspired the hit Netflix show finds Ciri trapped in a distant world and separated from Geralt and her destiny.

After walking through a portal in the Tower of the Swallow, thus narrowly escaping death, the Witcher girl, Ciri, finds herself in a completely different world... a world of the Elves. She is trapped with no way out. Time does not seem to exist and there are no obvious borders or portals to cross back into her home world.

But this is Ciri, the child of prophecy, and she will not be defeated. She knows she must escape to finally rejoin the Witcher, Geralt, and his companions - and also to try to conquer her worst nightmare. Leo Bonhart, the man who chased, wounded and tortured Ciri, is still on her trail.

And the world is still at war.

perfect narration

probably second best book in the series after the last wish. Best fights , great humor, just good time overall.

Hard to follow, but good story

of all the books in this series, up till this book, it's not been har to follow. Not to many story lines, time jumps, world's jumps and what not.
this one, jumps around, and you can't relax as normal, and keep to a long brakes apart from reading without having a har Time to get back in to it.

But hardness of a book do not matter. Loves this change in story telling from previous books and still love the story.

Do nok like the ending, as in, do not like the ending as general not liking the ending. That for me is a good thing.
I felt if I've lost something close to me.

Loved it!

Just read the sires already! Do it do it now! Peter Kenny does it again!

.

The story overall is fantastic however I didn’t like the ending
Or the many loose ends the story leaves behind.

"The rock falls and everyone dies" said the DM

I will never allow a poor ending to ruin the rest of a series for me, neither in book or video game form, but it is obvious that anyone who picked up the Witcher saga after falling in love with the Witcher video games will have to eventually experience the same feeling as with Mass Effect. A long, wonderful journey with amazing characters, only to culminate in a seemingly rushed, lifeless ending.
I never fooled myself with thinking that the story will have a happy ending, but I was hoping for -some- sort of ending. Some sort of closure.
A personal project by the author that had gotten slightly out of hand in scope, lost its creative spark and thus needed to be quickly wrapped up in a more or less thorough way - that is how this felt like. But a fun journey nonetheless, despite the ending.
