Book a Week: Weeks 41-52, Book 24
The last book of the year was Baptism of Fire by Andrzej Sapkowski, the next in The Witcher series. I actually finished the book weeks ago and just never posted. Geralt and Ciri are still apart, and they don't reunite through the book. We get to see the create of the Lodge of Sorceresses. We meet Emiel Regis who is Geralt's vampire friend in The Witcher 3. I liked him in the game, and I was wondering what their backstory was. I'm glad I finally got to see it. Bigger and better, though, is the introduction of Zoltan Chivay, my favorite dwarf. I'm hoping he'll continue in the series. I have two more books to go. I'm hoping to have them finished before season 2 comes out. These books are like the middle of any series. They are good, but they have a lot of stories to connect.
“But you don't even know how to destroy things wisely,” Zoltan griped, ordering yet another attempt to pull a wheel out of a hole. “Why can't you remove the stones gradually, from the edges of the road? You're like children! Instead of eating a doughnut systematically, you gouge the jam out with a finger and and then throw away the rest because it's not sweet any more.”
They were now floating in the middle of the river, on calm waters. The ferryboat was spinning like a turd in an ice hole...”
Bonus points for the usage of misericord (historical).
