Publisher's Summary

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.

Geralt. The witcher whose mission is to protect ordinary people from the monsters created with magic. A mutant who has the task of killing unnatural beings. He uses a magical sign, potions and the pride of every witcher - two swords, steel and silver.

But what would happen if Geralt lost his weapons?

Andrzej Sapkowski returns to his most popular hero in a stand-alone novel where Geralt fights, travels and loves again, Dandelion sings and flies from trouble to trouble, sorcerers are scheming...and across the whole world clouds are gathering - the season of storms is coming....

Not bad.

I really can't wait until we get Witcher books again where Geralt is actually a full Witcher. In this book he loses his swords. In the Witcher Saga he doesn't have his swords for most of the series, rarely uses his signs, essentially stops using his potions, loses his medallion towards the end, and constantly contemplates giving up Witchering. That wouldn't be so bad had we already had a series where we could enjoy Geralt in full Witcherhood, but all we had were a few short stories, which I found to be immensely more enjoyable than the saga as a whole, save for Tower of the Swallow, that book was very enjoyable as Ciri finally picked up the Witchering slack. This book was better as we once again have some interesting creatures and some signs being used, as well as some more info on the Cat guild of Witchers, though I wish he had done more in that regard. So I would say this book isn't as good as the short stories, but better than most of the saga series.

More Lore than Story

Taking place between two short stories in the Sword of Destiny novel, you can't help but feel like this should have been a short story aswell. If you have read all the novels like me then you might find this a bit tedious, as this is basically a retread of events done better with a sprinkling of modern political views and the occasional lore. Geralt has little room for characterisation in this as his important emotional arc is done in the previous and following story.
As always the voice work is impeccable, but I still struggled to listen to some characters go on and on without interruption. Overall I feel a lack of the attitude, gripping fast plot and interesting characters found in the previous books bring this good book down to just "okay."

Must read

This series is an absolute must read if you are interested in the fantasy genre in the slightest. Narrator is good (although, the female characters are rough at times), story is amazing and we all love Geralt.

Can't wait to listen to the novels too!

I love the Witcher stories (having listened to Last Wish and Sword of Destiny too) and Peter Kenny is masterful in his delivery. Andrzej makes wonderful political and social commentary and Geralt's characterisation is flawless as ever.

The most focused Witcher novel

Much like the Sword Of Destiny this book is well balanced and an example of how good the Witcher series can get. Since it fits among the short stories that are the first two novels published in the series, it can be read as a stand alone work and is highly recommended. As usual, Peter Kenny is absolutely brilliant.

Best Witcher book yet

I was concerned when it occurred to me that there was another witcher book (Season of Storms) published much later than the others, and set before the main series. Another prequel? 'This could well be simple, cheap fan service, perhaps called for after the first witcher games'. Well, I was surprised to find this is actually the most finely crafted of them all. The author has finely treaded the perfect line between action, clever storytelling, engaging characters, and crisp, unfaltering writing. For all the love I have for the other books, they are flawed, especially in the specifics of the narrative department. If you have finished the other books, and we're left with an emptiness or a dissatisfied appetite, I would highly recommend this book to satiate you.

Season of Storms

A beautiful way to “end” the series, but I’d recommend reading Book 6 again, after you’ve read this.
