The Lady of the Lake: Booktrack Edition

By: Andrzej Sapkowski, David French - translator

Narrated by: Peter Kenny

The Lady of the Lake: Booktrack Edition adds an immersive musical soundtrack to your audiobook listening experience! *

Trapped in a world ruled by the Elves, separated from Geralt and her destiny, Ciri will need all her training as a fighter and sorceress to survive in the fifth novel of the Witcher, Andrzej Sapkowski’s groundbreaking epic fantasy series that inspired the hit Netflix show and the blockbuster video games.

After walking through the portal in the Tower of Swallows and narrowly escaping death, Ciri finds herself in a completely different world. . . an Elven world. Time does not seem to exist and there are no obvious borders or portals to cross back into her home world. She is trapped.

But this is the child of prophecy, and she will not be defeated. She knows she must escape to finally rejoin the Witcher and his companions—and also 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.

Critic reviews

"This is a series you can sink your teeth into."—BuzzFeed News

"The universe of Sapkowski's The Witcher is one of the most detailed and best-explored in modern fantasy, offering endless opportunities for fresh ideas ... Complex character relationships enrich this already complex world; this is the sort of series fantasy fans will cherish."—B&N

"Delightful, intense, irreverent, and compelling....you have to read The Witcher books because they are rife with all of the elements that make you love fiction, and especially fantasy, in the first place....In a word, The Witcher delivers."—Hypable

"One of the best and most interesting fantasy series I've ever read. Though it functions well as adventure fiction, it has added depth and value as satire and commentary on fantasy literature ... Sapkowski is a genuine stylist."—Nerds of a Feather

"Like a complicated magic spell, a Sapkowski novel is a hodgepodge of fantasy, intellectual discourse, and dry humor. Recommended."—Time

"Like Mieville and Gaiman, [Sapkowski] takes the old and makes it new ... fresh take on genre fantasy."—Foundation on The Last Wish

"A breath of fresh air in a well-worn genre. Don't miss it!"—Fantasy Book Review

"Sapkowski has a phenomenal gift for narrative, inventing sensational events, creating a suggestive mood, and building up the suspense along with a dazzling, slightly cynical sense of humor."—Jacek Sieradzki, Polityka on The Last Wish

"Sapkowski's The Last Wish is a great collection of short stories centered around a witcher, Geralt - a rare sorcerous breed who hunts down the monstrous but is feared by the innocent. With a wondrous mix of Eastern European folklore and myth, beautiful princesses, mischievous demons and where all is not as it seems, The Last Wish is a great read - perfect for dipping into or just reading cover to cover, as I did."—Waterstones

"It is [his] world-weariness combined with his battle-honed powers that make Geralt such an interesting character. Here's hoping The Last Wish is merely the opening chapter in his English language adventures."—Edge

"I really, really enjoyed this book ... None of the characters in Sapkowski's world are black or white; they are all shades of grey, including Geralt and the monsters."—The Deckled Edge

"Sapkowski is very good at creating interesting, imaginative characters with unusual levels of depth to them ... The Last Wish is an enjoyable book full of stories both melancholy and comic."—The Wertzone

"This beautifully written character-based story from Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski ... a refreshing champion."—The Specusphere

An Unexpected Tragedy

This book had me absolutely in love and left me absolutely gutted. Definitely not the conclusion I was expecting- although, I don't know what exactly I was expecting. This series was wonderful. I'm still crying.

Love me a Witcher girl!!!

liked: everything, except...
disliked: ending credits!

damned 15 word minimum!! ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, fifteen, fifteen, Fifteen, Fifteen, FIFTEEN, FIFTEEN....

characters are fantastic!

first book that ever made me actually cry,
they writing genuinely made me feel and care for the characters like no other book I've read.

my absolute favorite book series!

Fantastic!

Now only is this a great story, but told by a great storyteller! Totally Immersive experience.

Let this man read it to you

I love the audio (especially booktrack) because this narrator nails his characters, and helps with pronunciation. I preferred listening compared to reading because of his characterization. Geralt will forever sound like that to me <3

dude...

if you're a deep lore person like me and love the witcher universe, good luck this book obliterated me

Must read for the Witcher fan!

Book was full of details that brought the World of the Witcher to life. Character development and story kept me wanting to hear the next chapter. The soundtrack in the background set a mood for the scene for me. Looking forward to listening to the next installment. Well done, indeed!

Epic conclusion

Must read for Witcher fans also the clear chose between yennifer and Trish is completely yennifer

A Spectacular & Immersive Conclusion

The Lady of the Lake is a strange but powerful ending to The Witcher series. The story jumps between different times and worlds, which can be a bit confusing at first, but it all comes together in the end.

Ciri’s journey takes the spotlight as she faces huge challenges across magical and dangerous lands. While still being their story, Geralt & Yennefer take a back seat in favor of Ciri being the primary focus. The book blends fairy tales, legends, and war, creating a story that feels more like myth than typical fantasy.

The booktrack helps to create a beautiful & immersive experience. Whether it be a fight amidst a fiery war or a relaxing stroll through the woods on horseback, the music/sounds accompanying the story never cease to make me feel as if I am right beside the characters in each scene.

It’s not the easiest read, but it’s a bold, emotional, and unforgettable conclusion to a truly unique series.

Late to the show.

I don’t know about this one. Since apparently I read it out of order for the Witcher novels. Basically to me it was about ciri.
