Review of "Blood of Elves"

Blood of Elves by Andrzej Sapkowski
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the first full length novel set in the Witcher Geralt's universe. Obviously, like most readers, I first came across the video games and then started reading the books.

I totally enjoyed the first two short story collections, and I also loved this book. From an absolute point of view, this book does not have too much substance. However, for someone who voraciously devoured the lore contained within the three games, this book is a treat.

In the games, I kept on hearing about the deep bond between Siri, Yennfer and Geralt, but there wasn't too much precedence within the game. But reading this book exactly told me how this bond came in to being.

Yes, the characters are stuck in the same space for a lot of time, and yes, there is not too much advancement in the plot--but this book sets the readers up for more drama and action, and it closes a lot of plot holes in the games.

A great read by all means.
