Review of 'Season of storms' on 'Goodreads'

What you used to be means more to people what what you are.

Thus ends my two month journey in The Witcher universe. On the whole this was a really enjoyable story and any annoyances I had about writing style or how the timeline unfolded are forgotten. There was a central plot and each book continued to move the story along so the differences from one book to another are hard to differentiate but in the end it delivered.

The final (maybe not for Sapkowski but I feel like it is for me) Witcher story jumps back in time and delivers a fun side story. I couldn't shake the feeling that the story was inconsequential and nothing mattered, and at times I coasted through pages. When the story got back on track I was locked in and along for the ride.

There may have been plot points or stories that Season of Storms complimented from the main Witcher story line but I didn't pick up on it. It felt like a one off and because of my comments above I felt it was worthy of a three star rating instead of the typical four the others got.

However, that Epilogue! This was short and sweet and ended on an incredibly high note. The final paragraph is quoted below because it was a perfect finish to the Witcher story.

She looked back. Behind her was the black forest. Before her was the road, running between an avenue of willows. A road towards destiny. The story goes on, she thought. The story never ends.
