Looking back on the last few Witcher stories I see that the plot is moving along, characters are in flight but nothing gets resolved. Each book continues to tell the same large story but I don't find there is much that stands alone book to book.

That said, the large story being told here is fantastic. I am comfortable with how Sapkowski is telling the story, the occasional shift in POV's and even how a chapter will be told in flashback. Now that I am more familiar with the characters, their unique voices and the struggles they are going through I am starting to appreciate everything a little more and will continue on with the series.

On to Tower of the Swallow next!
