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.
The world has fallen into war. Ciri, the child of prophecy, has vanished. Hunted by friends and foes alike, she has taken on the guise of a petty bandit and lives free for the first time in her life.
But the net around her is closing. Geralt, the Witcher, has assembled a group of allies determined to rescue her. Both sides of the war have sent brutal mercenaries to hunt her down. Her crimes have made her famous.
There is only one place left to run. The tower of the swallow is waiting....

Fantastic journey
I have not watched the Netflix show but the books have been wonderful.
Peter Kenny brings them to life. His constant voice changes are stunning. Bring it on. I love these books

Amazing as always
The Witcher novels are perhaps my favourite fantasy series. Peter Kenny delivers a masterful performance as always, giving life to dozens of different characters with unique voices. This one is my favourite so far aside from the first in the series! Multiple flashbacks normally irritate me, but the storytelling is done so well here I admire the brilliance of it.

Another great book in the series, Peter Kenny has done a wonderful job bringing the characters to life. I can't wait for the next audio book to be released.

Excellent!
By far the best book of the Witcher Saga. I was wholly disappointed with the Saga as a whole as the vast majority of it, as far as Witchering goes, involves Geralt not having access to his swords, not using his signs, not using his potions, and contemplating the pointlessness of being a Witcher at all. Furthermore, most of the time he and his troop are aimlessly wandering around, not encountering much interesting, as apparently the creatures he normally hunts are becoming scarce. During this time he constantly complains about not going fast enough, while at the same time trying to reject help from his friends, rather annoyingly. For most of the book Ciri is a petulant child who is also largely annoying and constantly complaining about everything. In this book though she finally comes into her own. We actually get some cool sword fights and some interesting situations for the characters, as well as finally seeing some unique creatures, even if Geralt doesn't end up actually fighting them. I would really like to see a new series with Geralt and Ciri actually being full Witchers, using their entire repertoires, rather than constantly losing their powers, or swords, or medallions, or not having any creatures to fight; you know, actual Witchering. Essentially like the short stories that started everything off.

Haven’t Stopped Listening
One more book to go, it’s taken me less than a week to get this far. Peter has done a great job with the voice acting here. The different accents and tones for all the characters are well done, and make it easy to follow. It’s true that the women sound a little like drag queens, but Peter is a man with a deep voice, it’s to be expected. I couldn’t understand why the pronunciation of Dandelion was changed in this book, but a quick search online explained it, and it was less jarring once I understood why. The plot keeps me hooked, and I’m a bit sad that there is only one book left. Thankfully there is plenty more Witcher material out there to keep me entertained, but I’m enjoying this series very much.
