Description

Baptism of Fire By ‎Andrzej Sapkowski

The charm of the world Sapkowski has created for Gerlat of Rivia and co., that makes it so different (and so much richer and more entertaining, from my point of view) from the Lord of the Rings, for instance, is the moral ambiguity, the shades of grey, the lack of clear, over-simplified, unambiguous themes (good vs. evil, for instance). The Witcher’s world is much more nuanced, complex, and often confusing – much more “realistic”, in a sense, if such a term can actually be used when speaking of fantasy. The “good guys” aren’t always all that good, nor are there motives necessarily dignified, transparent or known to the readers or the characters themselves. Rulers’ and players’ moves and alliances are often the result of strategic geo-political decisions; characters’ intentions are often veiled, serving individual ambitions, personal agendas or deceitful plots. Random events change the course of the story, characters doubt, fear, adapt, change, learn, mature…

And then…there’s the SATIRE. The mocking of all the real-world or fantasy-world stereotypes and clichés, which personally, I just can’t get enough of. Perhaps this one IS a bit more slow-paced than some of the previous books in the saga, but definitely not less interesting. If you’re reading these books just for the monster-slaying, the parries, pirouettes and humming of Geralt’s blade, you’re missing out on the best part of these books.
