Publisher's summary

The Witcher returns in this action-packed sequel to The Tower of Swallows, in the New York Times best-selling series that inspired The Witcher video games.

After walking through the portal in the Tower of Swallows while narrowly escaping death, Ciri finds herself in a completely different world...an Elven world. 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.

Didn't like the end

I was so looking forward to the conclusion to the series and was disappointed with the ending. I also got confused.

Peter Kenny Knocks it out of the Park

What made the experience of listening to The Lady of the Lake the most enjoyable?

This is easily the best reading in the series. It's fun to listen through these books because you can really feel how Kenny grows. As far as the content, the book is worth listening to. He can be a little more wordy than I tend to like, but the story he paints is terrific.

What does Peter Kenny bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Yes, his character work in this book was terrific.

Best Series I’ve read in a long time

Hands down one of the best series. Grips you from book 1 but the last book is even more enthralling! Don’t think, JUST GET IT!! You won’t be disappointed!

Love the process, love the world.

I'm approaching my fifth completion of this series and I am simply in love. I understand the complaints other reviewers have like the pacing, tangents, names, places - it can be overwhelming or unconnected. But the more the I partake in the world, the more I buy into it. There are clues, sometimes overt and other times covert, but clues nonetheless as to the links many of these characters have or may have in the future and you really feel the emotional and contextual attachments these characters have with one another but also with the author himself. You can feel his love for this story and justly so he builds this magnificent world, full of life and people and places and the nuanced attention to detail is entrancing. This series rewards the reader in this way. I mean to say that the author trusts us to be speculative and curious and notice these details so that when climatic shifts in the emotional yaw and pitch happen, we're able to fully appreciate and understand and answer the question on every reader's mind, "why do I care?". I recommend this series to anyone and everyone. The audiobook is masterfully done and the tone of voice is perfect. Peter Kenny, wherever you are, thank you for bringing these words into audio so I can listen to this while I work so that I never have to be too far away from this truly beautiful story. Andrzej Sapkowski, thank you for sharing this world and all the people in it, I'd be a lesser man without it.

Awesome book series

Great book series for any fan of fantasy novels, Peter Kenny does amazing voices and great for any fan of the witcher period. highly recommend to any and all

I couldn't have expected better.

This was absolutely a bittersweet yet fantastic finish to this beloved story of the witcher, Geralt of Rivia, and Child of Hope, Elder Blood, Destiny, etc. Ciri. Mr. Sapkowski wrote a phenomenal story that will go down in my classic favorites alongside Tolkien's Middle-Earth saga and Rowling's Harry Potter series.

The previous six audiobooks were performed amazingly by Peter Kenny and he finished it strong through the end. His ability to capture the voices and accents of this fantasy world was critical in my listening that during my work commutes, I was not in traffic. I was on the Continent.

Amazing story and performance well-deserving of every bit of star and your listen from the short stories / prequels through the main series' end.

Great listen

Was a great listen.
I love how the reader keeps in character for every character in the book.

Pure enjoyment

Such a fantastic ending to an amazing series! So sad and glad to have finished the timeless classic.

Amazing

This whole series was great. Peter Kenny did such an outstanding job narrating it will be hard not listening to him on other series. Thank you to everyone involved. I will miss this story because your all made me feel like a part of their world.

The best book of the series!

This is definitely now my favorite book of the Witcher series! It really closes the story masterfully.
