Definitely a more war strategy heavy book than the previous in the series. So if medieval war talk isn't your jam a good bit of this book will be a slog for you. That being said, it's not totally beyond understanding if you're trying to gleam what's going on. I highly recommend looking up a map from the video game to use for reference, because the book doesn't have one.

Any chapter with Ciri in it was a great thrilling read. I love how Sapkowski writes her character, she is the most identifiable 13 year old ever. She makes stupid decisions, but you can understand her motives, even if you don't agree with them.

Don't give up on the book if the war talk bogs you down. It is necessary, just take some clip notes for your reference later.
