Lady of the Lake

The Witcher, Book 5

De: Andrzej Sapkowski, David French - Translator

Narrado por: Peter Kenny

Introducing Geralt the Witcher - revered and hated - who holds the line against the monsters plaguing humanity in the best-selling series that inspired the Witcher video games and a major Netflix show.

After walking through the portal in the Tower of Swallows while narrowly escaping death, Ciri finds herself in a completely different world...an Elven world. She is trapped with no way out. Time does not seem to exist and there are no obvious borders or portals to cross back into her home world.

But this is Ciri, the child of prophecy, and she will not be defeated. She knows she must escape to finally rejoin the Witcher, Geralt and his companions - and also to try to conquer her worst nightmare. Leo Bonhart, the man who chased, wounded and tortured Ciri, is still on her trail. And the world is still at war.

Hard to follow, but good story

of all the books in this series, up till this book, it's not been har to follow. Not to many story lines, time jumps, world's jumps and what not.
this one, jumps around, and you can't relax as normal, and keep to a long brakes apart from reading without having a har Time to get back in to it.

But hardness of a book do not matter. Loves this change in story telling from previous books and still love the story.

Do nok like the ending, as in, do not like the ending as general not liking the ending. That for me is a good thing.
I felt if I've lost something close to me.

Loved it!

Just read the sires already! Do it do it now! Peter Kenny does it again!

.

The story overall is fantastic however I didn’t like the ending
Or the many loose ends the story leaves behind.

"The rock falls and everyone dies" said the DM

I will never allow a poor ending to ruin the rest of a series for me, neither in book or video game form, but it is obvious that anyone who picked up the Witcher saga after falling in love with the Witcher video games will have to eventually experience the same feeling as with Mass Effect. A long, wonderful journey with amazing characters, only to culminate in a seemingly rushed, lifeless ending.
I never fooled myself with thinking that the story will have a happy ending, but I was hoping for -some- sort of ending. Some sort of closure.
A personal project by the author that had gotten slightly out of hand in scope, lost its creative spark and thus needed to be quickly wrapped up in a more or less thorough way - that is how this felt like. But a fun journey nonetheless, despite the ending.

Great book

Great book. gets a little tedious towards the bit before the end, but perfect otherwise. A continuation of the saga and imo this is probably the best book so far?

love

heartfelt, heroic and entertaining.
great narrator
epic story
finished so quickly- couldn't stop listening

Great Story

Excellent story by Andrzej Sapkowski pet usual and a great performance by Peter Kenny as expected.

Despite some nonesense, a great book overall.

Finally finished The Witcher saga.

If not for the senseless traveling through the worlds done by Ciri, and whole bunch of filler chapters in the last book, the whole series would've been superb.

The Lady Of The Lake just felt like partially written by Sapkowski's janitor. The other ones are great though. Nonetheless recommended overall.

the ending...

The book is great, but that sour ending sadly does leave us feeling incomplete. although the story continues through the games, I did expect a more of a better conclusion to the books, but oh well, overall the book series are worth reading.

Stunning

Loved it, can't believe the saga ends here and thus, of all ways.

Or does it?
