jvt038@bookwyrm.social reviewed Baptism of fire by Andrzej Sapkowski (The Witcher -- 3)
Review of 'Baptism of Fire' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
Baptism of Fire resumes where The Time of Contempt left off.
After the events in Aretuza, and the brotherhood has fallen, a new organization takes its place.
Without spoiling too much, I think this is the best book so far.
The new characters fit perfectly with Dandillion and Geralt, just like Yennefer and Ciri do.
Geralt is reminded of the utter importance of working together, and he ultimately gives in and lets his companions travel with him.
The motifs of loneliness, the baptism of fire, secrecy, and even perhaps something others would conceive to be a 'not like the other girls' concept, I think it's also a book that speaks out against stereotypes of women, makes fun of myths, and of the false ideas in our society about various topics.
5/5.
