finished reading Season of Storms by Andrzej Sapkowski (The Witcher, #0)

Andrzej Sapkowski, David A. French: Season of Storms (Paperback, 2018, Orbit)

Geralt of Rivia is a witcher, one of the few capable of hunting the monsters …

Review of 'Oathbringer' on 'Goodreads'

On my second read (listen, actually -- the Graphic Audio version is good), this book is kind of a slog. Most of the first three-quarters of the book tends to draaaag on forever with lots of lame politicky stuff and people wandering aimlessly.
