Maybe 3 stars is not enough for the book and the story， but I was so confused about what happened when and where throughout the entire book， that I can't bring myself to give it 4 （3，5 would be more accurate， I think）。 I liked the story， especially Ciri's part （I wasn't very interested in some of the other chapters， which made it hard to get through from time to time）。 Maybe 3 stars is not enough for the book and the story， but I was so confused about what happened when and where throughout the entire book， that I can't bring myself to give it 4 （3，5 would be more accurate， I think）。 I liked the story， especially Ciri's part （I wasn't very interested in some of the other chapters， which made it hard to get through from time to time）。 。。。more

What a spectacular ending to this amazing saga。 When the Witcher universe started to cross into our universe I was really confused， but then it hit me。 What a terrific way to give it 'credibility'。 I also liked the constant time & dimensions shifting， but I can understand those who found it tiring。The ending is somewhat open-ended which gave CDPR the opportunity to pick it up and continue with the games。 Even if Sapkowski doesn't recognize the games as canon， I still consider them the deserving What a spectacular ending to this amazing saga。 When the Witcher universe started to cross into our universe I was really confused， but then it hit me。 What a terrific way to give it 'credibility'。 I also liked the constant time & dimensions shifting， but I can understand those who found it tiring。The ending is somewhat open-ended which gave CDPR the opportunity to pick it up and continue with the games。 Even if Sapkowski doesn't recognize the games as canon， I still consider them the deserving continuation of the story。Cannot wait for the TV series to pick it up。 。。。more

Hristiyan ，

（Audiobook by Peter Kenny） And so the saga comes to an end。 RIP to all the cool characters that fought for Ciri。 The ending sets up the video games pretty well and is great in itself。

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 That ending absolutely killed me。 Are they dead？ Are they alive together somewhere？ When ciri cried when telling the story to Galahad， was she crying out of joy or out of sadness and she was lying about the wedding？？ Regardless ， amazing series of books。

Beautifully executedPage turning story， I can wait to see it play out on tv。 Words words words more words good night。

Solace Winter ，

This last book， for being as long as it is， could not complete a train of thought。 Plotlines were repetitive， it went nowhere， and what was opened up as plot didn't finish。 And that ending？ Seriously？ The games didn't come out for nearly 10+ years after， so you can't say he expected any sort of continuation。 This last book， for being as long as it is， could not complete a train of thought。 Plotlines were repetitive， it went nowhere， and what was opened up as plot didn't finish。 And that ending？ Seriously？ The games didn't come out for nearly 10+ years after， so you can't say he expected any sort of continuation。 。。。more

Jeremy Cox ，

The first three books of this series were interesting and entertaining。 After that， the series seems to drag on with repetitive events and a real lack of plot twists。

Kunal Kala ，

A book of conclusions。Had some great moments but also had filler buildups。。

Jacob ，

It's a bit longer than I think it needed and I felt the big bad battle didn't really represent the saving of the world that I thought Ciri was 'destined' to do， but there were some nice twists and tie ins （From hedgehog Duny to King Arthur！） and I felt satisfied at the end。 Now that I've finished， I think I can say that the first two books with the short stories and then the book Baptism of Fire are my favorites in the series。 It's a bit longer than I think it needed and I felt the big bad battle didn't really represent the saving of the world that I thought Ciri was 'destined' to do， but there were some nice twists and tie ins （From hedgehog Duny to King Arthur！） and I felt satisfied at the end。 Now that I've finished， I think I can say that the first two books with the short stories and then the book Baptism of Fire are my favorites in the series。 。。。more

Too many unnecessary layers and actors in the plot

Colleen ，

Wow。 What a wrap up to the series。 Sapkowski brought it all together and explained everything。 Much better series than Game of Thrones in that there are less characters to track and more interesting side stories。 Sorry to have reached the ending。

Ясен В。 ，

A little underwhelming end of an exciting series。 A whole chunk of the book was devoted to a war I did not grow to care about with characters I had no attachment to。

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 Hmm， I really wanted to enjoy the last book in this series but it just wasn’t for me。 The pacing was not great， the last 20% or so was tough to even get through。 I was not really a fan either of the fast forwards in time。 I understand the parts with Ciri because it’s all a part of her abilities， but the random interjections of folks hundreds of years in the future was not great。 I felt like it somewhat ruined and spoiled the story as you read through it。 Unfortunately， my least favorite book in Hmm， I really wanted to enjoy the last book in this series but it just wasn’t for me。 The pacing was not great， the last 20% or so was tough to even get through。 I was not really a fan either of the fast forwards in time。 I understand the parts with Ciri because it’s all a part of her abilities， but the random interjections of folks hundreds of years in the future was not great。 I felt like it somewhat ruined and spoiled the story as you read through it。 Unfortunately， my least favorite book in the series and it was supposed to be the finale。 。。。more

Ryan Roch ，

A beautiful， melancholic end to a story of struggle。The conclusion to the story of Geralt， Yennefer， and Ciri paints a melancholic and bitterly triumphant “end” to a story of family won through sacrifice。 Often touching， and intermittently both cathartic and painfully withholding， it nevertheless satisfies longtime readers without pandering。 I loved this book。

Aivaras Čenkus ，

Wow。Nesitikėjau， kad istorija parašyta per septynetą knygų， taip smarkiai susmigs krutinėn！Kol kas nieko daugiau negaliu pasakyti。。。

Petra ，

I dont know if i want to give it 1 star or 5 stars。 I hate it here

Cindy ，

Love all of the Witcher books！ This one has plenty of highs and lows - love， friendship， death， and acceptance。 There are many battle and war scenes， as well as political plotting and strategizing。 As Geralt fights for good and justice， everything around him begins to falter and fail。 His journey to get back to Yennifer and Ciri includes much heartache， yet is ultimately what each has to endure to be together。 In the end， the prophecy remains true。

Josephine ，

A wonderful series of books， the story held me up to the end of it。

Lucia Wolfie ，

3。5 rounding upThe way women are portrayed in this book made me uncomfortable。It was very engaging though， I was going to rate this 4 stars， but then the ending came and it seemed very rushed to me， not a satisfying conclusion to the series。But that is just my opinion。

Peter Jolley ，

The end to an incredible series。 This book gripped me to the end！！ Sensational read。

Último libro de la saga。 Aunque tiene partes que si que me han gustado， en líneas generales me ha resultado un libro muy largo y tedioso， con muchísimos personajes que no recordaba quienes eran。 El universo que ha creado Andrzej Sapkowski es impresionante， eso no lo pongo en duda。 Tiene un sistema de magia y política muy potentes， pero la forma de narrar los acontecimientos es lo que no me ha terminado de convencer。Tanto en este libro como en los anteriores， he sentido que estaba en una montaña Último libro de la saga。 Aunque tiene partes que si que me han gustado， en líneas generales me ha resultado un libro muy largo y tedioso， con muchísimos personajes que no recordaba quienes eran。 El universo que ha creado Andrzej Sapkowski es impresionante， eso no lo pongo en duda。 Tiene un sistema de magia y política muy potentes， pero la forma de narrar los acontecimientos es lo que no me ha terminado de convencer。Tanto en este libro como en los anteriores， he sentido que estaba en una montaña rusa。 Ha habido momentos de muchísima acción y de engancharme hasta el punto de no poder leer y otros en los que los capítulos se me hacían soporíferos。 El hecho de que los capítulos sean tan largos， tampoco me ha ayudado。El final de la saga me ha gustado y ese último capítulo me ha tenido bastante enganchada， pero en general no puedo que me haya gustado。 He sentido mucho caos en general y he echado en falta más explicaciones de los hechos， porque sentía que de repente estaba en una batalla de la que no sabía nada。Hay autores con los que conectas y otros con los que no， y yo con este no lo he hecho。 Pero no por eso no voy a recomendar estos libros。 Creo que para los amantes de la fantasía pueden estar bien y si te apetece darlos una oportunidad， adelante。Nunca me suele pasar， pero en este caso me quedo con los videojuegos más que con los libros。 Que los fans más acérrimos me perdonen， pero como dice el dicho: “para gustos los colores”。 。。。more

Mark Austin Evans ，

Need More Witcher。I just finished the last of the Witcher series and it is so amazing。 I can’t wait to watch that Netflix series again this time with a better understanding of the universe created by the author。

Harsh Kumar ，

The middle part of this book is probably the weakest in the series。 Although it still manages to give the extraordinary Witcher saga a rather satisfying ending。

Evan ，

Good story but the way in which it has been told has never really worked that well for me。 This one was a story within a story within a story， just seemed to be over complicating it。

Geoff Regan ，

Definitely get the sense by this point that there is a great comedy writer trying to get loose。 Constantly switching framing devices again but it's an easy read。 Definitely get the sense by this point that there is a great comedy writer trying to get loose。 Constantly switching framing devices again but it's an easy read。 。。。more

Puh。。。。 harter Brocken um ehrlich zu sein。 Die ersten Bücher haben mich definitiv besser geflashed / mitgerissen als die letzten beiden Bände。 Der Mittelteil war mir viel zu langatmig， unter anderem durch die vielen Perspektiven von Menschen， die nach dem einen Auftritt keine Rolle mehr spielten。 Dadurch waren die Sprünge zwischen den Erzählern noch konfuser als man es eh schon gewohnt war。 Ich hab die Erzählstränge von Geralt （und seiner Truppe）， Ciri， Yennifer und auch Rittersporn sehr vermiss Puh。。。。 harter Brocken um ehrlich zu sein。 Die ersten Bücher haben mich definitiv besser geflashed / mitgerissen als die letzten beiden Bände。 Der Mittelteil war mir viel zu langatmig， unter anderem durch die vielen Perspektiven von Menschen， die nach dem einen Auftritt keine Rolle mehr spielten。 Dadurch waren die Sprünge zwischen den Erzählern noch konfuser als man es eh schon gewohnt war。 Ich hab die Erzählstränge von Geralt （und seiner Truppe）， Ciri， Yennifer und auch Rittersporn sehr vermisst und ich war erst wieder mit Freude dabei， als sie "zurückkamen。" Leider blieb Sapkowski sehr oberflächlich was die Gefühle und Bedürfnisse der Protagonisten anging。 Es fühlte sich zeitweise wie eine Aneinanderreihung von （nötigen und unnötigen） Geschehnissen an， die man jetzt noch schnell vor dem großen Ende （view spoiler）[als sie alle wieder zusammentrafen （hide spoiler）] unterbringen wollte。（view spoiler）[Was mir echt das Herz gebrochen hat war die Schlacht in der Burg Stygga。 WARUM müssen denn verdammt nochmal ALLE Weggefährten sterben？？？ Die Trauer um sie ist auch einer der großen Minuspunkte。 Es wird alles in drei， vier kurzen Sätzen abgehandelt und das wars。 （hide spoiler）]Mit dem Ende bin ich semi-zufrieden。 Es lässt doch viel Raum für Interpretationen。 （view spoiler）[Und wie klischeehaft。。。 "Das ist nun wirklich das letzte Mal" Ja klar - und dabei stirbt er？ Geralt， der zuvor alles überlebt hat？ Sämtliche Ungeheuer， jede Strapaze， jeden Kampf， Vilgefortz， 。。。 （hide spoiler）] 。。。more

while the last 30% of this made me sob constantly most of it just bored me to death。 it wasn't until over 300 pages in i felt like something was actually happening， every other chapter to me felt like information or a pov we didn't need and ultimately served no purpose other than to make the book longer。 i love reading the lore of this universe but this just felt like a fever dream and i don't know what sapkowski was going for。 also i know its medieval fantasy written by a man in the 90's but th while the last 30% of this made me sob constantly most of it just bored me to death。 it wasn't until over 300 pages in i felt like something was actually happening， every other chapter to me felt like information or a pov we didn't need and ultimately served no purpose other than to make the book longer。 i love reading the lore of this universe but this just felt like a fever dream and i don't know what sapkowski was going for。 also i know its medieval fantasy written by a man in the 90's but the amount of times sexual assault rears its head like。。。 give it a rest man！ 。。。more
