The Time of Contempt by Andrzej Sapkowski
My rating: 2 of 5 stars
Well, I’m on the fence on this one. This is a difficult book to review as it has few unique styles being put forward like the book starting with a riddling line which the story ends with, while what makes it bad is none of the original lore that sets The Witcher to stand out are used in this book – no monster hunts, just one boring monster description over sea, not many short stories; mostly long rants.
This book’s focus in on politics, war, socio-political issues and long monologues. Not on monster hunting, short story telling, Geralt’s scruples.
Hopefully, Sapkowski has better story arc in store in the The Baptism of Fire.
