Wieża Jaskółki (The Witcher #4)
Buddy read with Markus, who actually led me to discover this amazing series in the first place.The previous book in The Witcher series was a little bit choppy, with each change in point of view requiring some adjustment. By comparison, The Tower of Swallows is like a river being fed by a bunch of little streams. All of the different characters' scenes flow easily together to tell the larger story, and as a reader it's so easy to be carried along the current while observing all of the terrible

This review can be found on Amaranthine Reads.The Witcher series by Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski continues, with the Child Surprise Ciri travelling around with a bunch of thieves and bandits called the Rats, whilst Geralt, sorcerers and the Emperor send out people to find her.This series has plummeted to the very depths of tedium. Every book has melded in to one and it's difficult for me to remember this particular one, though I do recall my consternation at the random change of narrative
I like the continuation of the story, but there are some really bizarre creative, story-telling decisions being made here.The first is that this whole book is told from the point of view of flashbacks nested within flashbacks. There are multiple flashbacks for various characters, nested within each other.

Actual rating: 3.5 stars.
3 🌟 or maybe 3.5 🌟I have to admit Yennefer to me make me be bored. Hate reading from her point of view it takes away my excitement of the storyline even though her storyline fits in I just don't like her.Hate there wasn't enough chapters with Geralt ugh. It's like just a chapter and two had him in it. Other important characters and Ciri and Yennefer had lots more chapters.That ending though. Watch how Ciri growth has improved a lot.Enjoyable but not the best in the series.

Review to come. That ending hyped me up and helped me through the dreary parts of the book. (Dreary more in the sense that it got dark and sad). I'm really excited about starting Lady of the Lake, but it's so bittersweet.Buddy read with Markus, who actually led me to discover this amazing series in the first place.The previous book in The Witcher series was a little bit choppy, with each change in point of view requiring some adjustment.
