Season of Storms by Andrzej Sapkowski
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
The book is marked as The Witcher, #0 but I recommend that you read this book last in the series to understand the story flow.
The Lady of the Lake by Andrzej Sapkowski
My rating: 2 of 5 stars
Andrzej Sapkowski finally did disappoint me with the poor finale. Honestly, it has been a downhill read after the first books with the story taking more and more political arcs without sticking to the original Witchering. The ending and large parts of The Lady of the Lake is too superficial in my opinion without any logical or captivating explanations.
I guess the only thing which made me stick through finishing the entire series was Geralt’s and Dandelion’s companionship and occasional humorous exchanges.

The Tower of the Swallow by Andrzej Sapkowski
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Finally, the plot picks up in this book after a long drag and hiatus in The Time of Contempt & The Baptism of Fire. This book continues on the unique Sapkowski tradition which began in The Time of Contempt of beginning, repeating and ending with a riddle or catchphrase which subtly hints the plot thesis of that book and this time the riddle, regarding the mirror like lake, with which The Tower of the Swallow ends also forms the title of next book The Lady of the Lake.
Monsters and the Witcher killing them for coin, has now long phased out and replaced with politics, war and Ithlinne’s prophecy about Child of the Elder blood and the world’s destruction as main themes in the Witcher books. While I miss the monster hunting tales, I nevertheless continue reading/listening to get a closure on the fate of the dear White Wolf (Geralt) and the Chosen One (Ciri).
