The kings and armies are manoeuvring for position, each fearing invasion from across the river, each fearing their neighbours more. Intrigue, dissent and rebellion fester on all sides.
After decades of oppression, the elves and other races are fighting each other and attacking the humans - and with growing numbers preparing for battle, the threat of all-out war looms ever greater.
Against this backdrop of fear, Geralt and Yennefer must protect Ciri, the orphaned heir who is sought by all sides. For the child of prophecy has the power to change the world - if she lives to use it.

Kritikerstimmen
An incredibly nuanced, well-articulated novel, imbued with a self-assured command of description and brimming with Eastern European folklore
Like a complicated magic spell, a Sapkowski novel is a hodge podge of fantasy, intellectual discourse, and dry humour. Recommended
Geralt is one of the great characters in all of fantasy. Whether you're coming from the games, TV show, or are simply new to the Witcher universe - these books are absolutely worth the read - James Islington, author of The Will of the Many
This is a series you can sink your teeth into
Like Mieville and Gaiman, [Sapkowski] takes the old and makes it new . . . [a] fresh take on genre fantasy
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
One of the best and most interesting fantasy series I've ever read
Absolutely sensational descriptions of conclaves, gatherings, group behaviour, decision making, political intrigue and awesome character development. Also very flowy introduction of new characters and just such a quick entry into new scenes. This book is by far the best world-building in the series so far. As in the other books, it becomes a bit touch-and-go when Ciri gets to discover her powers and the author struggles with not making magical visions too clichee, but it's a good balance I think. There are also good explanations for why certain magical solutions that pop into your head as a reader are not possible right now, so it's fine.
But then... the ending. This book tapers out with a bad aftertaste. A very dull and slow ending, last-minute character introductions that are probably supposed to set up the next book, a cliffhanger that's not really thrilling (empty threats with no real feeling of danger), and worst of all a kind of... sexual assault scene that suddenly isn't one anymore just because the assaultant changes? Very confused writing and no nice bow to tie up the end with all the other characters we've grown to love throughout the book but are missing for the last chapters.
Great book bad ending

The story is befitting of the Witcher universe but appears somewhat too nice in this part of the series.
The book is very obviously written as a part of a bigger series and could have done with a finish that is not as tv-series like as it is.
Overall all my criticism is on a high level and only existent at all due to my high expectations.
If you like fantasy and characters that are not simply good or evil you will like the Witcher.
Characters come alive in the dirty and unfair world of the Witcher with the readers voice.
